Marceau is close of "has been" even in France. Actually, I am so intrigued by Audrey Fleurot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Taylor 0 Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 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?

baron-pierreIV 1693 Posted March 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Yeah, the French have a quirky record insofar as the Cauldron Lighters for the O-Games they have hosted. For Grenoble 1968, they got the first one right with Alain Calmat, a figure skater, if I recall. But at the (indoor) Closing, they had Daniel Robin, a wrestler from the local Grenoble area reIight the indoor flame. For Albertville 1992, it was footballer Michael Platini and a little boy do the honors. I think if there is NO stand-out French star from Tokyo 2020, then they can always go with a child again (a girl who will be the future "Marianne" as in the logo) or both. If a Frenchman (or woman in the Women's category) wins the Tour de France that year, then either of those could possibly light the cauldron. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maschino90 0 Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Also ich denke es wird Marie-José Pérec Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigVic 8 Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 Marie Jose Perec has to be the hot favourite. 2 Gold Medals, Atlanta 1996 in the 200m and 400m. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lilly 0 Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 I think that the whole current situation might affect whos gonna do the honors, but yes Marie Jose Perec sounds like the best option right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tommy 0 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Lets just hope that it will take place in 2024. Due to Covid I am unsure about every big event in the future. But in my opinion Marie Jose Perec would be a great choice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
