Physical description

It consists of three foam medals. They belong to the costume of General de Gaulle that was worn by doubles Dutch athlete Sega Traore during the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The costume has been revisited by the Paris 2024 costume teams. We recognize in his medals, the allure of the Legion of Honor. All white, they have some black details.

Notes

This costume belongs to the "Sportiness" tableau of the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games Paris 2024. This scene takes place on the Seine where five platforms between the Concorde and the Pont d'Iéna, take on the appearance of French gardens and host demonstrations of skateboarding, BMX, breaking and double dutch. During this scene, the delegations parade while athletes dressed as historical figures occupy the stage of urban sports.
