Antoine Dupont at the 2024 Olympic Games, it’s starting to burn. As we announced, the captain of the Blues wishes to participate in the high mass of world sport in Paris next year, with the French sevens rugby team (the Olympic format of rugby), even if it means doing the impasse on the Six Nations Tournament with the XV of France. Discussions have even taken place between the French Rugby Federation, the National League, the Toulouse Stadium, the player and his entourage in recent weeks. And Florian Grill did not deny.
Asked about this on the program “On refait le sport” on RTL, with Le Parisien, the new president of the FFR showed great enthusiasm about the potential participation of the best player in the world in 2021 at the Olympic Games: “ Totally, we are lucky to have the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris, so if Antoine Dupont offers us his person to be our standard bearer and our torch, it would be great for French rugby”.
“Didier Lacroix is for”
Florian Grill also spoke of discussions with the president of Stade Toulousain, the club of Dupont winner this weekend of his 22nd Bouclier de Brennus, against La Rochelle: “Didier Lacroix is for it. We talked about it and he is OK on the subject. Antoine Dupont has a keen sense of the interest of the country and of rugby and there, both are at stake. We must first develop rugby sevens because he is not yet of age in the clubs , but that Antoine Dupont wants to come and play is a phenomenal opportunity for rugby. »
But before thinking about the Olympics, the Toulouse scrum half and captain of the Blues will experience another great adventure, the Rugby World Cup in France. And why not bring back the only title that is still missing from the XV of France (September 8-October 28). At home already. So, for Antoine Dupont, after France 2023, Paris 2024?
