2024 Olympics: “We have to stop complaining, the whole world is coming to Paris”, Yannick Noah deplores the bashing of the Games. The former tennis player, who will be captain of the French wheelchair tennis team, sometimes regrets the lack of enthusiasm of his compatriots for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris.

“It’s a source of motivation for young people and sport in general, for kids. We are not a sporting nation. We do two hours of sports at school when we can't find a way to get a fake medical certificate so we don't go,” he said.
