A few days before returning to training with Atlético de Madrid, Antoine Griezmann is living his best life by attending the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in the capital and its suburbs. The vice-captain of the French team, a great sports fan (and who would have dreamed of participating in the Olympic football tournament with Thierry Henry’s Espoirs), first attended, Saturday evening at the Stade de France, the coronation of the Blues of rugby 7s led by Antoine Dupont. In an exceptional atmosphere.
Sunday was a marathon day for “Grizi”, who did artistic gymnastics at Bercy, fencing at the Grand Palais and then swimming at La Défense Arena. He was well inspired, since Yannick Borel won a silver medal in épée and Léon Marchand was obviously crowned in the 400m medley, breaking Michael Phelps’ Olympic record.
Griezmann scores a hat-trick
Griezmann couldn’t stop there: on Monday morning, he went to Versailles to follow the horse riding events, he who started horse racing with his father. “Silver medal alert! Obstacle! Well done!!”he posted on X with a selfie. The French equestrian team, with Stéphane Landois, Karim Laghouag and Nicolas Touzaint, finished in second place in the eventing competition. For the 9th French medal of the Paris Olympics. Griezmann has also tweeted for each of the French medals since the start of the Olympiad!
“When are you coming to judo, Grizou?! We have some great things to show you! Two semis this afternoon! We need you to bring the cup home!”launched the X account of the judo federation. Antoine Griezmann will perhaps continue his crazy adventure in Paris 2024 at the Arena Champ-de-Mars in the afternoon. Or will he wait for Teddy Riner’s day on Friday. In case, the Avengers led by LeBron James are playing their second match in Lille on Wednesday (against Sudan).
