Antoine Griezmann may have resumed training with Atletico Madrid a few days ago, but the French world champion continues to follow the Olympic Games closely, particularly the (good) results of the Blues in Paris. The Mâcon native still gives his “Medal Alert” every time a Frenchman wins a medal, and it must be said that the former Barcelona player has no shortage of work.
Although he must now be content to follow the Games on television, the Madrid number 7 has multiplied his presence on many grounds during the first few days, making his mark at the Stade de France for rugby sevens, at the Défense Arena for swimming and at the Château de Versailles for horse riding. Enough to become one of the great presenters of these Paris Games.
And according to Laurent Luyat, Antoine Griezmann might not be done with the Olympic Games. The vice-captain of the Blues is on the tablets of the hosts of “What Games!” to come and participate in the show. “Antoine Griezmann would be a great guest. We’re looking into it, by the way,”
he confided to the Figaro, adding: “Guillaume Canet, that would be great too and Zidane why not!”
The star presenter of France Télévisions also mentioned the refocusing on sport carried out by the show after the strong criticism received due to the presence of guests only present for their promotion. “There are fewer celebrities. That’s what has been criticized a little. Afterwards, it’s true that there are so many medals and things to say about sports performances that sports guests or those interested in sports are enough. It’s true that the show has evolved in a slightly more sporty direction and that the glitz side has disappeared a little. But, even if the show is now 90% sport, it’s a show that needs to be lightly sprinkled with glitz.”
