Belgian cyclist Remco Evenepoel made history by winning both the time trial and road race at the Paris 2024 Olympics, securing gold under the Eiffel Tower. French cyclist Valentin Madouas took silver, while Christophe Laporte completed a French podium sweep with bronze. In windsurfing, Israel celebrated its first gold medal of the Games, achieved by Tom Reuveny, who outperformed expectations in the men's final, alongside teammate Sharon Kantor who secured silver in the women's event. Reuveny's victory is considered a historic upset, marking a significant milestone for Israeli sports. The Olympics have been marred by protests related to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, prompting official condemnations from the Paris 2024 organizing committee. Despite the turmoil, the achievements of athletes like Reuveny and Kantor stand out as moments of national pride.
