Antoine Dupont Joins Rugby Sevens, Eyes Olympic Gold

French rugby star Antoine Dupont embarks on a journey with the Rugby Sevens squad, aiming for Olympic success in Paris 2024.

  • Antoine Dupont, the world's outstanding scrum-half, has switched from 15-a-side rugby to sevens, targeting Olympic success at the Paris 2024 games.
  • Dupont's debut in the sevens format is set for the Vancouver SVNS tournament, marking the beginning of his journey towards the Olympics.
