Death of the leader of Hamas in Iran, the gamble of Léon Marchand and medals with a taste of unfinished business… The morning news of Wednesday July 31

Every day, those in the know discuss the latest news from the Paris 2014 Games with Marie Bernardeau and Camille Huppenoire.

The themes :

Hamas announced the death of its political leader, Ismail Haniyehin Tehran. What did he represent for Hamas? What consequences could his death have on the negotiations for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip?

The swimmer Léon Marchand, already Olympic champion in the 400m individual medley, will be at the start of the 200m breaststroke and butterfly this Wednesday. Can he do the double? Is he overshadowing Maxime Grousset, who will be competing in the 100-meter freestyle final? Or is he protecting him from the pressure?

Medals with a taste of unfinished businessTuesday July 30, for judoka Clarisse Agbégnénou who was hoping for gold and consoled herself with bronze in -63 kg and for the women’s épée team, Olympic vice-champion, behind the Italians. Is the judoka right when she talks about a tactical error? In fencing, second silver medal after that of Auriane Mallo-Breton, this time again by one touch. Should we question ourselves?
