Antoine Griezmann and his “medal alerts” are back on social networks

The French team’s striker, who delighted Internet users during the Olympic Games, has been active on X again since the start of the events at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.

Antoine Griezmann couldn’t miss this. The star of Les Bleus and Atlético de Madrid had already transformed his X account into a real news feed on French medalists at the Olympic Games, with his “medal alerts”. “Grizi”, a big sports fan, is therefore logically doing it again for the Paralympic Games. The striker published his first “medal alert” on Thursday, August 29, with Marie Patouillet’s silver in paracycling on the track.

Antoine Griezmann then worthily celebrated the first Paralympic title of these Paris Games for the French clan, with gold for Ugo Didier in the 400m freestyle in para swimming. “UGOOOOOO EXCEPTIONAL”he wrote, with his usual enthusiasm. The infectious passion of the 2018 world champion, who has nearly 9 million subscribers on X, has sparked many cheerful comments from Internet users. “He’s back”writes one of them, while another calls him “king”.

Antoine Griezmann’s posts on social media were massively shared and commented on during the Olympics, with over a million likes on X. The Atlético player also took photos of himself at several Olympic sites, including at the La Défense Arena swimming pool, during one of Léon Marchand’s titles.

During the Olympics, Emmanuel Macron referred to the posts of “Grizi” on his official account on X. Antoine Griezmann also got an emoji of himself on the social network, with a straw hat on his head and a big smile, which appears when an Internet user writes the hashtag #AlerteMédaille. But one question arises: will the star of the Blues be able to attend a Paralympic event? In any case, he will be in Paris with the French team at the beginning of September, for the Nations League match against Italy on Friday, September 6 at the Parc des Princes.
