site.btaТимът на Франция по ръбги 7 спечели олимпийската титла при мъжете и първи златен медал за домакините на Игрите в Париж


Отборът на Франция детронира досегашния първенец Фиджи и спечели олимпийската си титла в мъжкия турнир по ръгби 7 на Игрите в Париж.
Водени от суперзвездата Антоан Дюпон, френските ръгбисти победиха Фиджи с 28:7 (7:7, 21:0) в знаменита вечер на „Стад дьо Франс“, печелейки първото злато за страната-домакин на Олимпиадата.
Двукратните шампиони от Фиджи останаха със сребърните отличия, а бронза заслужи тимът на Република Южна Африка, който надигра Австралия с 26:19 (5:7, 21:12) с трай на Шон Уилямс в заключителните моменти.
На полуфиналите французите се справиха с южноафриканците с 19:5, а отборът на Фиджи преодоля Австралия с 31:7.
Фиджи, който бе спечелил всичките си 17 предишни мача на Олимпийски игри, поведе във финала срещу Франция чрез Хосева Талаколо.
Феновете на домакините избухнаха в овации, когато Раян Ребадж, който отбеляза два пъти в полуфинала срещу Република Южна Африка по-рано през деня, изравни резултата за 7:7 на полувремето.
Начело с влезлия в игра Дюпон, отборът на Франция контролираше мача през второто полувреме (21:0), а 67 000 души по трибуните бурно изразяваха емоциите си.
"Когато дойдох първия ден, се чудех какво правя тук и дали изборът да не играя на Шестте нации е бил правилният", каза Дюпон след мача и добави:
"Атмосферата тази вечер беше невероятна, не е нещо обичайно за нас и трябваше да я преживеем. Отборният дух беше забележителен. Рядко съм чувал такава атмосфера тук на "Стад дьо Франс". Зрителите вдигнаха много шум и ние трябваше да им се отблагодарим, да поставим Олимпиадата в правилните релси."
Американецът Пери Бейкър стана водещият реализатор за всички времена в олимпийското ръгби 7 при мъжете, постигайки десети трай при загубата на САЩ с 14:17 от Република Ирландия в плейофите за разпределение на местата от пето до осмо.
В неделя започва тридневният турнир по ръгби 7 при жените.
