Émile Blameble will carry the Olympic Torch. Here’s his story:
76-year-old Émile has had a passion for sport since childhood. He had envisaged a career as an elite athlete, but an unfortunate injury caused him to reset his goals. He decided to become a physiotherapist to treat sports-related injuries and help athletes train appropriately in order to prevent them where possible. He fully embraces the values of sport, passing them down to his children, who are high-level athletes themselves, and they in turn continue this legacy through their own children. As a dedicated volunteer, Émile has spent countless hours coaching youngsters at various stadiums. He sees the opportunity to carry the Olympic Torch as an iconic moment that will help light up the end of his career.
