While waiting for the Paris Olympics, Vénissieux labeled Terre des Jeux 2024 offered a day dedicated to sports activities for young people aged 6 to 12.
We were entitled to JO scale models, Wednesday June 23, at the Laurent-Gérin sports complex. On the program: around ten disciplines proposed by managers of clubs in Venice, such as François and Julie for judo, Gilles for hand, Isabelle, Laurence and Clémentine for the CMO-V gym, Nordine for rugby, Muriel for athlete , or volunteers from Handisport Lyonnais who, at the Ostermeyer gymnasium, have set up workshops on visual impairment and wheelchair guidance and handling.
“There are some 350 children aged 6 to 12 from children’s homes, social centers and Wednesday sports centers, participating as part of the day of Olympism, discovering all-round entertainment workshops, from basic disciplines to human table football ”, recalled Cédric Bith, responsible for hosting the event. “What a pleasure to find so many people on a sports site, savored Nacer Khamla, the City’s sports assistant, visiting with Guillaume Nest, the new sports director. We missed it. “
Before heading towards 4:30 p.m. on the rugby field and its stands for the official photo of the groups taken from a drone, and to receive a t-shirt, game booklet, voucher for a free discovery session in one of the clubs of the city, as well as a well-deserved snack, some participants commented in their own way on this half-day foretaste of the Olympics. Thus Mohamed-Aymen, 6 years old: “It’s cool, I loved rugby“. Or Noussayba, a little older: “The Olympics are full of sports, and the best receive a medal”. The conclusion of Léa, 8 years old: “I hope we can attend the Paris Olympics. “ More than three years to wait.
