The journalist confessed to it being "an honour" to have participated in this initiative and urged the internationals to experience the Paris Olympic Games in a very special way: "They are going to experience something different from any European Championships or World Cup. The Olympic Games have a different atmosphere, and it will be an experience they will never forget."
