What a day! The Paris Grand Slam is one of the most anticipated events of the calendar and if it is expected by thousands of fans, it is because the level of the tournament is always very high. This first day of competition kept all its promises, with Japan leading the medal rankings (2 gold, 3 silver, 1 bronze), just ahead of the host country which had to wait until the last final of the day to open its gold medal count (1 gold, 1 silver, 2 bronze). In this highly competitive environment, behind France and Japan, South Korea, Kosovo, Ukraine and Canada shared the other gold medals, while a total of 12 countries climbed onto the podium.
