France secured its first gold medal of the Games in spectacular fashion as superstar Antoine Dupont led the men's rugby sevens team to victory. Dupont, widely regarded as one of the greatest players of his generation, showcased his exceptional skills as France triumphed over Fiji with a commanding 28-7 win in the gold medal match held at the electrifying atmosphere of the Stade de France.
The 27-year-old Dupont had made a strategic move from the 15s format to sevens with the specific goal of guiding his team to a historic gold medal, and his efforts paid off in a momentous victory that left him visibly emotional. The French President, Emmanuel Macron, was present at the event and shared in the jubilation of the team's success.
