Olympic Stories- Camille Muffat Wins Gold for France


French swimmer Camille Muffat, 22, won gold today for France in the 400-meter free-style. Earlier in the 2012 London Olympics, she won silver in the 200-meters race.

In today's action, Muffat edged out Allison Schmitt of the United States who won silver and the home pool favorite Rebecca Adlington of Great Britain who finished in third and received a bronze medal. Frederica Pellegrini of Italy was also expected to medal in the race, but she failed to come through.

France is having a particularly strong Olympics so far with 8 gold, 5 silvers and 6 bronze medals.

Other French gold medalists include Tony Estanguet (men's canoeing), Teddy Riner (men's judo) and Lucie Decosse (women's judo).
