After judo bronze in Paris for Michaela Polleres, there was a big party, followed by sightseeing with the family the day after. Although her sport has brought her plenty of medals - four of the last 12 at the Olympic Games - association boss Martin Poiger sounded the alarm in the hour of triumph. One problem in particular annoys him... 

Take a deep breath, enjoy! Michaela Polleres and her family visited the Olympic flame the day after her judo bronze medal, taking in the Louvre, Notre Dame and the Invalides. In between, she read through congratulations. "It felt like the whole world was congratulating me," she laughed.
