[HIGHLIGHTS] Father of the Olympic Games, now controversial, Pierre de Coubertin enters the Grévin museum

Father of the Olympic Games, now controversial, Pierre de Coubertin enters the Grévin museum. His wax statue is currently in progress and will be unveiled in three months, just before the start of the Paris Olympic Games on July 26.

In his Memoirs, he described himself as "a fanatical colonialist", recalls the City of Paris in a biographical notice published on its site. “The Olympic Games must be reserved for men. A female Olympics would be uninteresting, unsightly,” he also judged.
