LVMH has announced the latest additions to its Olympic and Paralympic team

This Wednesday, January 20th, LVMH once again made headlines by announcing the ultimate athlete joining its team for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Under the guidance of luxury magnate Bernard Arnault, this partnership goes beyond mere association of prestigious names. Through initiatives, promotional videos, and tailored uniforms, this strategic decision aims to reflect LVMH's deep commitment to high-level sports and the promotion of excellence in the French context. Among the latest recruits to join this powerhouse team is Timothée Adolphe, a talented para-athlete specializing in the 100 meters and 400 meters events. Without further ado, here are the names of the other participants in the campaign "Artisans of all victories".

Léon Marchand

In the ultra-competitive world of swimming, Léon Marchand is a true phenomenon. Hailing from Toulouse, his name has become synonymous with broken records and exceptional performances. For instance, at the World Swimming Championships in Budapest in 2022, he astonished the swimming titans by winning the world title in the 400 meters individual medley with a stunning performance, thus establishing a new world record in the discipline. His fluid style and power in the water have captivated spectators worldwide, making him a rising star in swimming. His commitment to technical perfection and his ardent desire to continuously surpass himself make him an example for the younger generation of swimmers and a true legend in the making.

Mélanie de Jesus dos Santos

In the highly demanding field of artistic gymnastics, Mélanie de Jesus dos Santos stands out as one of the most accomplished athletes of her generation. At the age of twenty-four, she has four European champion titles to her name, demonstrating consistency, excellence, and almost surgical precision. Her record also includes gold medals in floor exercises at the European Gymnastics Championships in 2018 and 2019, as well as on the balance beam in 2021. In addition to her continental successes, Mélanie has also proven herself on the international stage, ranking among the world's top gymnasts.

Enzo Lefort

Enzo Lefort, with his skill and precision, embodies excellence in the field of fencing. His journey is marked by undeniable successes, including the gold medal in the team event at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, where he brilliantly contributed to the French team's victory. His expertise and dedication to his sport make him a formidable competitor on fencing strips worldwide. Off the strips, Enzo Lefort maintains a close relationship with the worlds of fashion and jewelry, making his partnership with Maison Louis Vuitton entirely natural. With three Olympic Games appearances already under his belt, he now aspires to leave an indelible mark on sports history. His ultimate goal is clear: to win double Olympic gold, both individually and in the team event, at the Paris Games.

Pauline Déroulède

It's not just trophies that define Pauline Deroulède; it's her resilience and strength of character that make her a true inspiration to all. Her dominance in the world of wheelchair tennis is undeniable, with three French champion titles to her name to prove it. She has conquered the peaks despite the challenges and obstacles related to her disability. Starting her career shortly after an accident in 2018, her journey is marked by hours of intense training, sacrifices, and unwavering determination, which now rank her as 13th in the world. As an ambassador for Maison Dior, she will proudly and determinedly wear its colors, with the aim of winning the gold medal.

Marie Patouillet

Her ascent in the world of Paralympic cycling is remarkable, marked by extraordinary performances. Affected by a congenital malformation that has progressed over the years, she fell in love with cycling in 2017 and decided to become a para-athlete. At the 2021 Tokyo Paralympics, she shone on the track, winning two bronze medals, thus demonstrating her mastery and excellence in her discipline. When she's not on the circuit, she also advocates for LGBT rights and campaigns for greater inclusivity in sports.

Antoine Dupont

You must have certainly heard about him a few months ago during the rugby World Cup; Antoine Dupont is a true prodigy of the oval ball. With more than 50 selections in the French national team, he has repeatedly proven his ability to dominate the game and lead his teammates through his leadership. His 2021 was particularly remarkable, crowned by several major achievements. Not only was he voted the world's best player that year, but he also significantly contributed to France's victory in the Six Nations tournament, achieving the Grand Slam. He knows how to galvanize his team and lead them to victory, making him a real asset for any competition. So, his presence at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games as an ambassador for Maison Louis Vuitton comes as no surprise to anyone.

Timothée Adolphe

Despite his visual impairment, he has pushed the boundaries of his abilities to shine on the track. He started practicing athletics in the late 2010s and has since achieved numerous performances and records. Despite some disappointments in Rio in 2016 and then in Tokyo in 2021, his commitment to his sport and his unwavering determination to overcome obstacles make him a source of inspiration. He has bounced back, never losing sight of his goal, and shone at the Para-Athletics World Championships in Paris in 2023, where he won bronze medals in both the 100m and 400m. His versatility and high-level consistency make him one of the favorites in the competition.
