Time is like suspended. In the space reserved for homeless women, at the Carreau du Temple, in Paris (IIIe), they try on pairs of running shoes and fill their bags with cosmetics, feminine protection or even detergent and toothpaste, under the gaze of top-level athletes. “Can I get a pair for my daughter? asks one of them. Neither the judokas Clarisse Agbégnénou and Fanny-Estelle Posvite or the pentathlete Élodie Clouvel dare to speak a word. Only Athena, Clarisse’s baby chirps. Tears would almost come to my eyes. “I feel sick to my heart for them, we are quiet in our cocoon, they are in the street, but they keep smiling”, breathes Clarisse Agbégnénou.
