In basketball, while players from the Frenchy Associate came to host a workshop throughout the afternoon for our young players, it was indeed our sponsor Evan Fournier who presented the prizes to the teams of handball and basketball. Welcomed like a star, he took the time to congratulate the players one by one, then to pose with them for a small photo shoot. A real highlight of the day, sportingly and humanely! For the handball precisely, the final matches took place. In the boys category, UMS Pontault Combault wins the tournament against the Entente Seine Nord 92 after a technical and tight match.

Some important matches took place today! This is particularly the case in basketball, where the CBSES Indians won their U15 tournament. On the contrary, in U17, the girls of the Sainte-Geneviève had great difficulty in winning theirs, but they did it at the end of the suspense. In the boys tournament, the Stade Français eventually lost against the Entente Sainte–Geneviève on a tight score, and this last one won the U17 trophy. Finally, and once again, Entente Sainte-Geneviève won its U15 final match against CBSE India. A true success for this team, and for the basketball tournament!

This second day of tournament ended on the same dynamics as the first. In rugby, the level of the matches was excellent and the results were tight. Teams like the Stade Français and Sucy made a good impression in the semi-finals, but it is eventually the Germans of the Deutsche Rugby Verband who win the U18 boys category. Amongst the open men category, it is the superb team of the Tinghir Rugby Club who honors Morocco, by winning the first place in this category. In the girls tournament, Atlantis Rugby almost felt the victory feeling, but it is finally the Baby Paris Ladies who eventually won this final. And the Rugby Club Massy Essonne finishes first in the girls open category. Overall, the matches held their promises, and if some teams sent a strong message, others like the Swiss or Emirati selections, or even St Martin Rugby Union were examples of exemplarity on and off the field. The rugby tournament is already over, but it is full of promises for the 2018 edition! In handball, this second day brought the atmosphere to another level! The group matches gave some surprises such as this new victory of the Indian women’s selection or the incredible intensity of the matches between ACBB and ES Colombes as well as between Paris Handball and the Entente Seine Nord 92. The matches are still tight and promise beautiful things for the final stages that will start on Tuesday. For the basket, the Indian teams manage to stay in contact against the teams of Ile-de-France. In most groups, the outcome is still uncertain and matches on the third day will be decisive. Football...

The first day of the Paris World Games took place in an excellent sport atmosphere. Rugby, first of all, was in the spotlight, as Jean-Claude Skrela visited teams like St Martin Rugby Union and was able to interact with the young players directly on the field. In general, the matches were very intense with teams such as the Ile-de-France Committee, Atlantis Rugby, Baby Paris Ladies or the Deutscher Rugby Verband. Other formations like Rugby India, VGA St Maur and Lagny have shown great tenacity. The women game between the United Arab Emirates and Switzerland was finally full of symboles. This announces a second exciting day with the semi-finals and finals in perspective, always in a very good atmosphere ! Handball has also given high-level and globally homogeneous matches. The French teams met the foreigners, including the national team of India who created the first surprise of the tournament! Likewise, the England team was able to count on loyal supporters who put on a superb atmosphere. Basketball also put the Indian teams in the spotlight, as they were present in numbers on the pitch. They defended well despite a difficult start against the Ile-de-France teams. The tournament promises to be more and more beautiful as the days go by! Last but not least, football has given very varied scores (from 0-0 to 20-0!). The regular teams of the Paris World Games were motivated to start a new edition. Beautiful actions, numerous goals and a family atmosphere were here, proven by the number of parents present in stands on all the stadiums. For the record, it was the Argentines from Camioneros who won the opening game...
