Frenchman Nicolas Gestin won the gold medal in C1 canoe-kayak slalom this Monday, July 29 at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Crazy day for the French delegation.

In a crazy atmosphere at the Olympic nautical stadium in Vaires-sur-Marne, canoeist Nicolas Gestin won the gold medal in canoeing and kayaking, under the eyes of Tony Estanguet.

The canoeist from Quimperlé dominated the final, finishing more than 5 seconds ahead of the second-placed Adam Burgess.

Fourth gold medal for the team of France

The Frenchman has been brilliant since the start of the competition, and had already achieved the best times, notably with a lead of more than three seconds in the semi-final. He is the fourth Frenchman to win a gold medal after rugby players Léon Marchand and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot.

Gestin is the third French Olympic champion, after Tony Estanguet and Denis Gargaud Chanut.
