I should say that I don't know if the Frenchwoman, Cassandre Beaugard lives in Paris, but I am sure the City of Light has adopted her tonight. She was clearly urged on by the French fans as she made her move in the last kilometers of the Women's Triathlon. She dropped her teammate Emma Lombardi, as well as Julie Derron (Suisse) who you can see behind just coming over the rise of the Pont Alexandre III for Silver. Not yet turning onto the bridge is Beth Potter (Great Britain) who claimed the Bronze. The French end today with a total of 26 Olympics medals eight of which are Gold. They only trail China in total Gold Medals by one, and the USA in total medals by four. These games have already been an epic success for the host country on both the sports side and the host side. Chapeau!
