The job of a consultant on television is not easy.
Especially when professional and personal life merge, causing a veritable maelstrom of uncontrollable emotions.
Marion Rousse had the (magnificent) experience on Sunday at the end of the afternoon when, installed in the commentary booth of France Television in Imola for the world road championship, she attended the coronation of her companion in life , Julian Alaphilippe.
If some need to vocalize what they feel, like Frédéric Lecanu at the time of the fourth title of world champion in judo won by Clarisse Agbegnenou whom he meets almost daily at Insep, Marion Rousse, she had the voice cut.
The emotion in the France Télévisions cabin ... Like us at home after all.

“
It was a lot of emotions.
It was difficult to continue to comment.
I apologized.
I said to myself: I have to go live the podium live, I can't miss that.
I rode a bike myself, I know how much Julian sacrificed himself for it.

Tease, his colleague and other consultant France Television Laurent Jalabert tried to give him the floor but the former champion of France had to be content with a "sorry", a trembling voice expressing better than words his intense emotion from the moment.
Because she knows nothing, obviously, of the dream of the one who has shared her life for several months.
At the same time, the former sprinter Thor Hushovd, who also became a consultant for a foreign channel, filmed the young woman before posting the short video on social networks.
And once the excitement was over, Marion Rousse took the time to talk to Flemish television VTM Nieuws: “It was a lot of emotions.
It was difficult to continue to comment.
I apologized.
I said to myself: I have to go live the podium live, I can't miss that.
I rode a bike myself, I know how much Julian sacrificed himself for it.
The emotion he must have felt ... France is proud of him.
He's a great world champion. ”
