“Hi, it’s Leo, what does it say?”

This Wednesday, July 31, Internet users are taking over the Pont des Arts to reproduce Aya Nakamura’s choreography at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. The French star’s performance has been shared millions of times on social media and her songs are at the top of streams. Internet users are now having fun recreating it, in the same place, nicknamed “Aya’s bridge”.

She wanted gold, like in Tokyo, but Clarisse Agbégnénou settled for bronze on Tuesday, July 30 at the Paris 2024 Games. The judoka who became a mother in 2022 immediately shared her medal with her daughter Athéna, whom she gave birth to just two years ago and who is now at the heart of her sporting and personal project. A performance that could inspire another athlete who competed while pregnant that same Tuesday!

And then since the beginning of the Olympic Games, the French public has been there, creating an exceptional atmosphere in the stands. A valuable support for the French athletes who never stop saluting this mobilization that pushes them to surpass themselves.

“Ça dit quoi?”, a podcast to listen to from Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. on franceinfo.fr, on the franceinfo WhatsApp channel, on TikTok or on all podcast platforms:
