The 2024 Paris Games are also those of controversy. The goal set by Emmanuel Macron of winning 80 medals and being in the top 5 nations seems very ambitious.
In some disciplines, such as judo with Teddy Riner or swimming with Léon Marchand, the French chances are great, but in others, we can doubt. A medalist has to be prepared well in advance. The English, for their part, had prepared for the 2012 London Olympics - successfully, 3rd country in number of gold medals (29) and 65 medals in total. Will the absence of a number of Russian and Belarusian athletes make our task easier? We cross fingers…. Good week, Yves Thréard. The French are experts, (Olympic) champions. But what if we started talking about sport? Because that's another matter. We can be just as worried. We could have thought of that when we competed at the reception of the competition. It's a good week.
