00:00Whether you win or not, it doesn't come down to the final, it comes down to the course.
00:06Especially in the Olympic Games.
00:08What we managed to do is to see the other athletes perform, fight, whether with or without a medal.
00:22You suffer with them, you are happy for them.
00:26What we managed to do is really exceptional for me in general.
00:31I promise you to look at what didn't work.
00:34Of course, there are a lot of things that didn't work.
00:36But in the end, it's just extraordinary.
00:38I think we gave a lot of pleasure to the people.
00:41And they responded in the evening, to be honest.
00:45We were a little further.
00:47We felt this fervor in Marseille, Nice, Bordeaux, Lyon and of course in Paris.
00:51We finished, even if it was the second place.
00:55It's the second place, synonymous, of course, with the silver medal.
00:58To hear the Marseillaise a capella, it was just extraordinary.
01:01Just extraordinary.
01:03Because I wanted to hear it.
01:05I didn't see where the flags were.
01:07In fact, they were behind me, on the corner, on the left, entering the park.
01:12And finally, the supporters made it.
