Summary
It’s Day 4 of the Olympics and I head back to Paris from Lille for Women’s Handball at South Paris Arena. The evening features two matches, France vs Brazil and Sweden vs Denmark. The home country crowd made for a fun atmosphere. It was also the first time I would hear Joe Dassin’s classic song, Les Champs Élysées at an event, but it certainly wouldn't be the last.
