Justine Fossa will carry the Olympic Torch. This is her history:

Justine has always been enthusiastic about sport, taking part in it since the age of 5 years old, especially through swimming and athletics clubs, as well as during STAPS sports science studies in higher education. The values of sport such as commitment, rigour, respect, perseverance and resilience have left a significant mark on her.

For her, working in this field was an obvious choice, as she wanted to combine and mobilise these resources to enhance her company's performance. Joining the teams of LOXAM, a Paris 2024 partner, and the JOP2024 project, has allowed her to achieve this objective. Justine maintains a balance between sport, health and work by playing volleyball competitively, drawing her energy from it in tandem with her professional career.

For her, the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games in France represent heritage and shared memory that span several generations, symbolising unity, belonging, togetherness and common values. Becoming an Olympic Torchbearer is therefore a powerful symbol for Justine, who feels proud and grateful to enjoy the privilege of taking part in this adventure. She is aware of the trust her company has placed in her to represent its colours in association with this symbol of excellence. With her colleagues, Justine wants them to be a single team with a common goal: to bring about the best Games possible. Her finest sporting memories are the performances that she achieved with her volleyball team, where the emotions shared in victory and defeat are her greatest reward. She aspires to share this motto with those around her on a daily basis.
