00:00Second bronze even Jason Grandry

00:02Managing to win bronze in his his quest for it

00:05I can tell you it was a very quick matter for him at less than 30 seconds

00:1029 seconds to be exact is all he needed for his Ipon on his Turkish

00:15Counterparts and go and take a third medal then for the French Paralympic

00:20teams two bronzes so far for France Daniel Powell from TGB when he was overpowered in his

00:26Final against our two caval country the silver the Brazilian who managed to win against him to Brazilian goals so far

00:34Today at these who've been seen the under and over 90 kilograms

00:39Judo finals and Brazil have won those two these are taking place just to be a bit more precise in the j1 category

00:45That's the category for those who are the most

00:49Whose sight is the most impacted or who are actually blind?

00:53So it's all a matter of touch and as I've explained them just a few times before is that the only difference basically compared

00:59To other judo is this all that happens they start with their grip on the other judoka apart from that

01:03It's the exact same story and the exact same rules

01:06But Brazil clearly overpowering everybody else so far in this in today's in today's events France

01:13Though as you mentioned could be up for gold. That is with Eddie O'Sullivan. Oh, yeah

01:18He's coming up in his finals in the over 90 kilos category that to come in a bit France

01:23Who are really hoping that they can get a gold they need something because France normally judo is a stronghold in the Olympics

01:31It was a little bit less lesser than it was in previous times

01:34They did however still get ten medals in the Olympics and those two titles, of course for Teddy Riener

01:39Well, Elias Latrimania is actually from the same area as Teddy Riener from Guadalupe

01:44Over in the Caribbean and is hoping that he can do exactly the same as him and win a title here after going from bronze

01:53Previously, so we'll see how these things that turn out for them

01:56But France so far just three medals in the Paralympic judo

01:59They've of course managed to win another another gold medal since we last spoke that was over in the mixed team relay

02:07Snatching that's goals from in the in the cycling road events

02:11Snatching it from Italy with just about a minute a minute's lead on them

02:16So they're now at 18 golds France are they've still two golds away from that

02:20That's some that mark that they first set themselves ahead of the Olympics

02:24They're trying to get 20 goals trying to leave their home home games with 20 gold medals

02:30So what too much has to do so so latrimania is gonna be one of the big ones

02:33He's one of the big big favorites from days on

02:35We've been just saying about how much is expected from him to win his fight against his Ukrainian counterpart

02:41That's all coming up very very shortly and France will know that and all the French supporters who were in the show no mass arena

02:47Just behind us will be encouraging him very very loudly as they have been doing over actually all of the or all

02:54Contestants in the judo so far today
