The sportsmen of Caen

Basket : Nicolas Batum, born in Lisieux (Calvados) then player of Caen and Pont l’Evêque, adds a nice charm to his prize list. After the medals at the European and World Championships, the captain of the Blues obtains Olympic silver. Throughout the competition, the France team thrilled the followers, especially against the United States in the pool and Slovenia in the semi-finals. During this match, Batum was able to be decisive with a masterful counter in the last seconds.

Football : How hard it was… France, from Caennais Alexis Beka Beka, left the competition in the group stage after two disastrous defeats against Mexico and Japan. The Stade Malherbe midfielder is one of the few to have taken his head out of the water with three convincing performances.

Equitation : Eternal regrets … Penelope Leprévost, from the Saint-Arnoult club (Calvados) and Mathieu Billot, born in Deauville (Calvados), came close to an Olympic medal.

France was first before the passage of Pénélope Leprévost. 52^e in individual, the rider did not manage her horse Vancouver de Lanlore, who refused an obstacle. Final score: 8^e.
