Milan/Cortina 2026 Games: Les Bleus at the Gaîté Lyrique this Friday
More than four months after the pre-Olympic gathering on the Presqu’île de Giens (Var), the French National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSF ) and the French Paralympic and Sports Committee (CPSF) are once again bringing together the French Olympic and Paralympic team due to compete at the Milan/Cortina 2026 Games this Friday.
This time, it is in Paris, and more specifically at the Gaîté Lyrique, that the gathering is being organised. Although the event will take place 121 days before the opening ceremony of the Milan/Cortina 2026 Olympic Games, it will also serve as D-100.
Many Nordic athletes will be present on the day, which will be an opportunity for the press to meet the athletes just a few months before the quadrennial event. Combined racers Mattéo Baud, Laurent Muhlethaler, Gaël Blondeau and Marco Heinis, jumpers Valentin Foubert, Enzo Milesi, Joséphine Pagnier and Emma Chervet , and cross-country skiers Delphine Claude, Flora Dolci, Rémi Bourdin, Jules Chappaz, Mathis Desloges, Richard Jouve, Hugo Lapalus, Jules Lapierre and Victor Lovera will all be there.
The biathletes, currently in training in Ramsau (Austria) and Font-Romeu (Pyrénées-Orientales), will not be taking part, while the Nordic para-skiers Benjamin Daviet, Karl Tabouret, Anthony Chalençon and Florian Michelon will be there.
