Sophie Thevenet

Sophie Thevenet will carry the Olympic torch. This is her story:

For Sophie, "illuminating a stretch of the journey" is a source of pride in France and its history, as well as a beacon of hope and solidarity. A seasoned tennis player, two years ago she went through a medical ordeal that granted her a greater appreciation for the virtues of bravery and determination inherent in sports and the Olympic Games. Witnessing the global coming together of nations, athletes and colleagues is truly a once-in-a-lifetime celebration! Carrying the Olympic torch will be an indelible memory for her. Sophie takes great pride in representing Danone, a partner of the Paris 2024 Games, which embodies values such as enthusiasm, humanism, openness and closeness. Carrying the Olympic torch will forever solidify a moment of unparalleled joy and significance for Sophie.
