On Friday July 26, France will be buzzing to attend the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games, along the banks of the Seine. An event that our country has not experienced since 1924 during the summer and which will be experienced on France Télévisions and on Eurosport. It remained to be seen who would be in charge of this major event.. While Nikos Aliagas commented in Greece on the flame lighting ceremony… It would seem, according to information from our colleagues at “Parisien”, that it was Laurent Delahousse
the presenter of the weekend news on France 2 who provides comments of the opening ceremony in Paris.
A great opportunity for Alice Taglioni’s companion to reveal himself in an exercise that is less smooth than usual. Furthermore, the daily specifies that the father of four children would be, no doubt, accompanied by a “ female voice » whose name is unknown at the moment. Several female sports journalists are already well known to the public service channel such as Marie Mamère, Céline Rousseaux and Cécile Grès. It remains to be seen whether one of them will be chosen.
The flame on its way to Paris
The emotion was great this Tuesday, April 16, when the Olympic flame left the city of Olympia in Greece as tradition dictates. While Nikos Aliagas was appointed master of the flame lighting ceremony in his native country, several personalities were designated to carry the flame to Paris. Swimmer Laure Manaudou was the first French woman to take on this major role in Olympia. Once the flame has left Greece, other personalities will take turns in France to play this symbolic role including Anne-Sophie Pic, the most starred chef in the world, the actors Jamel Debbouze or Jean-Pascal Zadi, the singer Patrick Bruel, the influencer Tibo Inshape and the astronaut Thomas Pesquet. It is on May 8, 2024, in Marseille, that the Olympic Flame will begin its epic journey in France.
