follow the eighth day of competition live

Here we go again for a day of exploits and disappointments on the island of Honshū. The morning started with a mixed triathlon with four French athletes involved. The French women dream of a rugby 7 final. Renaud Lavillenie, Olympic pole vault champion in London, enters the track like Pierre-Ambroise Bosse and Mélina Robert-Michon in athletics. Another expected athlete, the American Caleb Dressel, the ogre of swimming, entered in three events this Saturday.
