Partnered since 2021, Sarah Steyaert and Charline Picon brought the French Olympic sailing team its first medal, under the radiant sunshine of Marseille's southern harbour,
on August 2.
At the end of a breathless final, they won the bronze medal in the women's double-handed dinghy category (49er FX). It was a first for helmswoman Sarah Steyaert, who had competed in the Beijing (5ᵉ), London (16ᵉ) and Rio (6ᵉ) Olympics, and a regular for Charline Picon, who completed her collection of Olympic medals after gold in Rio (2016) and silver in Tokyo (2021) in windsurfing.
