Physical description

It is a white jacket that takes up the aesthetics of General de Gaulle's military jacket in a more modern way. Belted (the belt is removable), with short sleeves, it has 3 medals on its left pocket. This character is played by Nathanael Marante a breaker, Mathias Dandois and Quentin Morien. It is not possible for us to identify with certainty which of the three men wore this costume. On the other hand, it is Nathanaël Marante on the photo of the costume sheet.

Notes

This costume was worn by 3 people: the Breaker Nathanael Marante, then Matthias Dandois and Quentin Morien on BMX. This costume belongs to the "Sportiness" tableau of the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games Paris 2024. This painting 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.
