Géraldine Lecacon will carry the Olympic Torch. Here’s her story:

Géraldine is a ray of sunshine! She has an energetic personality, sharing her zest for life and enthusiasm well beyond her team. When it comes to sport, she's eclectic. She's a keen runner, having taken part in social events such as the Course du Coeur (Heart Race), and she has harboured a passion for salsa for over 20 years. She was once even a teacher. Géraldine enjoys sailing the rivers of French Guiana in a dugout canoe, and takes part in the Marathon de l’espace (Space Marathon) as part of a team. Géraldine sees everything as an excuse to burn some energy and share her love of sport! She will proudly carry the Torch to shine a light on the Games in the magnificent gem that is French Guiana.

She will also be highlighting the competitive sporting spirit she has helped to foster at a French public electricity production and supply company, a partner of the Paris 2024 Games. Géraldine joined the company 24 years ago. After holding accounting positions at various firms, including international subsidiaries, she is now responsible for internal oversight, ethics and compliance within the company. Her leadership and team spirit have allowed Géraldine to bring people together and recreate that feeling of group belonging within the organisation, helping its employees share a sense of solidarity once again. Her commitment both to sport and her career makes her an ideal ambassador to carry the Olympic Torch, symbolising the unity and determination of an entire community.
