France's judo team won the silver medal in the mixed event on Sunday at the World Championships in Doha. The French were equal with the Japanese but lost 4-3 at the end of a "golden match" This is the sixth time that the mixed team event has been on the program of the Worlds, and the sixth times that Japan has won the title.
The Blues have still not beaten the Japanese in a world championship, even if they had won at home in Tokyo two years ago.
