Felix Lebrun, the 17-year-old table tennis sensation from France, made history at the Paris 2024 Olympics by defeating Brazil’s Hugo Calderano 4-0 in the men’s singles bronze medal match. In his Olympic debut, Lebrun delivered a commanding performance, winning with set scores of 11-6, 12-10, 11-7, and 11-6.
With this victory, Lebrun has become the first Frenchman to win an Olympic bronze in men’s table tennis singles and the first to bring home a medal in this category since Jean-Philippe Gatien’s silver in 1992. Ranked fifth globally, Lebrun’s success in this tournament has solidified his status as one of the sport’s most promising young talents.
The win was a momentous occasion for France, as the young star dominated the match from start to finish, leaving no room for Calderano to mount a comeback. Lebrun’s triumph at such a young age hints at a long and successful career ahead, and he’s already being celebrated as a new hero in French sports.
