Looking more closely at the draw, which is available HERE, we will follow the French armada closely, at home and keen to please and honour their audience. With a total of 55 athletes, the host country should retain a good slice of the pie. Will the French world and Olympic medallists be there in good shape? Amandine Buchard, Sarah Léonie Cysique, both individual silver medallists in Tokyo, Madeleine Malonga, Romane Dicko or Axel Clergé, also Olympic medallists, could well thrill the French public.
