The responsibility of organizing the Olympic Games does not fall only on the governing country, the athletes also carry a responsibility to ensure respect for their home and take advantage of the community.

The French coach, Thoms Voeckler, pointed out: “We don’t know what it means to participate in the Olympic Games at home and do well. I think about my athletes, they will have time later to enjoy the Olympics at home. It should be used as an additional motivation, but if one starts to overcome the event, one loses the normal reference points. My desire is to really use this opportunity, this opportunity. “I am proud to be the coach of the French team every year and especially for the Olympic Games at home,” he told CycismActu.
In fact, the pressure is important: “If I didn’t want to have pressure, I wouldn’t be there. But it’s a different pressure than when I was a runner. I know what is possible and what is not possible, whether it is for a time trial or an online race, these are two completely different events. Yes, there is pressure, there is, but we will not be God on earth if we achieve a result and we will not beat ourselves if we do not achieve it so that we do everything well,” he concluded.
