Passing through the University of La Sorbonne where she attended the presentation of the route of the Olympic flame, Friday, June 23, with the president of the Organizing Committee for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games (Cojop), Tony Estanguet, the Minister of Sports Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, in an interview with Ouest-France, appealed to the various federations so that the tricolor stars are also there next summer. Asked about her desire to see Kylian Mbappé participate in the men’s football tournament after the Euros, she replied that he was “impossible to answer no to this question”.
“He is such a source of inspiration, of freshness. To have him, as well as Antoine Griezmann, would be extraordinary. The French Football Federation must manage this with skill, explained the minister. We need to have such champions at the Olympic Games, like Antoine Dupont in rugby sevens. Young people must be able to admire them, like many others, including Victor Wembanyama in basketball, Léon Marchand in swimming, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot in mountain biking or Clarisse Agbegnenou in judo”. Enough to have more arguments to achieve the objective set: to be part of the top 5 in the ranking of the medials.
