REPLAY - 2024 Paris Olympics, D-500: French President Macron kicks off countdown

Description

In 500 days on Tuesday, the 2024 Summer Olympics will burst into life in Paris as the teams float down the River Seine on barges in a unique opening ceremony. The Paris Olympics and Paralympics have a lot riding on them -- they involve the return of full crowds of spectators to the world's greatest sporting spectacle after the Covid-blighted Summer Games in Tokyo in 2021 and the Winter Olympics in Beijing last year. On top of that, the spending on the Games is being scrutinised as never before -- venues are focused on Seine-Saint-Denis, the poorest area in France.

  • Léon Marchand domine aux JO de Paris 2024 grâce à cette technique incroyable #shorts

    La rapidité du nageur originaire de Toulouse, spécialiste des épreuves quatre nage, brasse et papillon, époustoufle de nombreux spectateurs lors de ces JO. Quel est son secret ? Léon Marchand gagne du temps sur ses concurrents sous l’eau. « Léon Marchand utilise une technique subtile, appelée l’ondulation dauphin », explique le physicien Fabrizio Bucella, de l’université Libre de Bruxelles, le 31 juillet sur X. L’ondulation dauphin (« dolphin kick », en anglais) porte ce nom, car la technique rappelle tout simplement le mouvement de la nage du dauphin. « L’ondulation dauphin se fait sous l’eau, après le plongeon et les virages. Léon Marchand sort de l’eau en dernier. Il maximalise donc le temps passé sous l’eau. Or, sous l’eau, la résistance diminue de 20 %, on nage plus vite », poursuit le scientifique.
