Marvin Rapon will carry the Olympic Torch. Here’s his story:

As a passionate sports fan and fervent defender of Olympic values, Marvin sees the chance to become a torchbearer as the ultimate fulfilment of his commitment to the Olympic spirit. Ever since he was a child, the Olympics has been much more than just a sporting event for him. It has been a source of inspiration, awakening in him the desire to push his own limits and to use sport to promote peace, friendship and fair play.

By carrying the Torch, Marvin hopes to help spread these ideals and inspire the next generation to pursue their dreams with determination. His passion for sport goes far beyond simply being a spectator, having been active in various disciplines throughout his life, which has helped him to develop values such as perseverance and teamwork. Alongside his personal sporting commitments, he has also spent time volunteering in local sport, giving him the opportunity to work with diverse communities and reinforcing his commitment to inclusion and mutual respect.
