Mathieu Morice will carry the Olympic torch. This is his story:

The Olympic Games have been a source of inspiration for Mathieu from a young age. As he sees it, sport epitomises the values of effort, personal transcendence, sharing and respect for others. Today, in addition to his own sporting endeavours, his volunteer role as a basketball coach for young children allows him to pass these values on to future generations.

Mathieu pursues more than just athletic excellence; he is dedicated to carving out a niche where all can flourish and revel in the joy of sports. The opportunity to welcome the Olympic Games to France fills Mathieu with pride. For him, being chosen as an Olympic torchbearer is the ideal opportunity to shine a light on the volunteers who set out some time every day to invest in youth and help develop responsible and fulfilled citizens.
