SLIDESHOW – Antoine Dupont, Kylian Mbappé, Tadej Pogacar, world record at the Chicago marathon… Find out what caught the attention of the editorial staff of Le Figaro this weekend.

Antoine Dupont makes his world dream. For its return to the Top 14 with its Stade Toulousain after an enchanted interlude at the Olympic Games with rugby sevens, the tricolor made a resounding return by scoring a hat-trick in 12 minutes. An incredible performance contributing to the success of Stade Toulousain against Clermont 48-14. The downside is the injury of Toulouse fly-half Romain Ntamack, who will be absent for several weeks.

They were surprised against Bayonne. Stade Rochelais, solid so far with four victories in five Top 14 matches, failed on the sixth day. Overtaken in all areas of the game, Ronan O’Gara’s men conceded a heavy 37-7 defeat against Bayonne.

They shone this weekend confirming their supremacy. The first in cycling, barely crowned world champion, Tadej Pogacar continues to shine with the most beautiful jersey on his shoulders. Easy winner of the Tour of Emilia, he was expected at the Tour of Lombardy of which he is the three-time defending champion (2021, 2022, 2023). As a boss and with a new demonstration, he went to win alone after a lightning attack.

The other in tennis, Jannik Sinner won in the final of the Shanghai Masters 100 against Serbian Novak Djokovic. A success which allows him to be the first player to win three of these events in the same season, the most prestigious on the circuit after the Grand Slams, since Rafael Nadal in 2018. All categories combined, his title in Shanghai is the seventh in ‘a year that he will finish at the top of the ATP ranking whatever happens.

Mbappé continues to be talked about and for the wrong reasons. The Tricolor, absent for the Blues rally, was photographed during a night trip to Stockholm on the evening of the match between France and Israel. And to make matters worse, his communication leaves something to be desired. The former PSG is working to return to his best level and wants this to be known. The Real Madrid striker posted a photo of himself working out in a gym. Questionable timing once again.
