Melun: On the road to the Olympics!
The long-awaited event kicks off with the Olympic torch relay on Saturday, July 20, 2024, a promise of emotional moments and sporting greatness as it passes through Seine-et-Marne via Melun from 1:59pm to 2:59pm.
This symbolic journey will provide a unique opportunity to showcase our region, our local identity and our collective pride.
One of the 6 torchbearers will be from Melun, none other than Youssef Hocine, fencing master at the Melun fencing club, world medalist and Olympic selection in 1988 and 1992.
Suffering from multiple sclerosis, it is in a wheelchair that the fencing master will travel to the event, probably accompanied by gold medal fencer Patrice L'hôtellier, to honor the Olympic and Paralympic symbols.
Follow the Paralympic Games from August 28 to September 8 to celebrate the strength and determination of our athletes!
