Bronze medals for Madeleine Malonga and Luka Mkheidze

The same result for Madeleine Malonga, who managed to take bronze despite a lack of training. Not an easy return to competition for the Olympic silver medallist who had to go through repechage before getting her act together and beating the Korean Yoon to third place. A fine result for the judoka who won this Grand Slam in both 2019 and 2020. | Credit : Stéphane Bonnet/ France Judo |

A great return to competition for the Team ENGIE para cyclist and encouraging performances from the new tandem, suggesting great promise for upcoming events. |
Fantastic performances all round!
