Cécile Autran will carry the Olympic Torch. This is her history:

Cécile has devoted the last 15 years of her life to the Olympic Games, crossing the Atlantic Ocean several times to contribute to the success of the technology behind this international event. She began working on the Paris 2024 project in 2019 and had to demonstrate a significant dose of creativity to overcome the challenges thrown up by the pandemic, particularly via teleworking from Madrid.
