First post after luring for many years. Don't shoot me
My wife and I went through this tonight:
Guy Drut - On the organizing committee and skeletons in the closet
David Douilet - as above
Marie José Pérec is a strong choice locally (1996 was a big Olympics for France) as is Riner if he has retired by then. 1996 was bang in the middle of the EPO years though
The brother of Alexis Vastine could be a good symbol, but won't happen.
Zidane wasn't an Olympian as far as I know.
If Romain Bardet wins the Tour de France between now and then perhaps. Similar if someone wins Roland Garros
Jean François Lamour? Galfione?
