Title: French nationals 2018
Post by: jwi on March 03, 2018, 11:06:41 pm: Semi finals start tomorrow 8.45 am Paris time (i.e. 7.45 Greenwich time).

Among the men, the usual suspects are through to the semis, and so is Charles Albert.

For the men the first problem was spectacular, especially GuiGui's solution. And it was cool to see that the coach for the french national team almost got onto the podium!
