Francophones in the sports movement (Rio 2016)

They are leaders, experts, coaches, journalists or athletes. They have in common not only a function or a commitment in the international sports movement, but also a language, French. In their own way, these men and women keep the sporting Francophonie alive and growing. FrancsJeux presents them to you, every week, until the Rio Olympic Games in 2016. A series offered in partnership with the International Organization of La Francophonie.
