France has won its first gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics by defeating Fiji 28-7 in the Rugby Sevens final.

Antoine Dupont played a pivotal role in the match, scoring two tries and setting up another, leading France to a decisive victory on home soil. This achievement is particularly significant for Dupont, who has also won the Champions Cup and Top 14 in the same year. The win is a culmination of over 15 years of hard work developing the French Rugby Sevens program, led by Julien Robineau and others. The match was held in front of a packed stadium, adding to the excitement and significance of the moment for the host nation.
