200 days before the opening of the Tokyo Olympic Games on Friday, July 24, France Télévisions is actively preparing its system. As usual, the public group will broadcast the main alternating events on France 2 and France 3. France 4 and France Ô should also be mobilized before their final closure on the day of the closing ceremony, Sunday August 9.
With the time difference, the direct will be provided between midnight and 4 p.m. Magazines will then be distributed to summarize and show all the images of Olympic day. Journalists Laurent Luyat, Cécile Grès and Matthieu Lartot will follow one another from the Club France in Tokyo as a common thread between the main disciplines.
For these Tokyo Games, which will serve as a general rehearsal for those of Paris in 2024, France Télévisions intends to renew its team of consultants. The regular Stéphane Diagana will again comment on the athletics events. But for swimming, the group will recall former champion Yannick Agnel recruited during the last world championships. For judo, it is Emilie Andéol, gold medalist in Rio, who was hired after having moved in December when she had made public her big job galleys since her Olympic title four years ago.
Note that the pole vaulter Renaud Lavillenie will launch this Sunday in "Stade 2" the countdown before Tokyo. The Summer Games will also start on the Internet with the launch of the podcast "Entre-deux" where renowned athletes tell their careers (first guest: Florent Manaudou) and "Géosport" which recalls the geopolitical dimension of the Games.
