I want to experience the Paris Games. It's a strong, inner feeling, as if I was destined to participate in this huge celebration in my city, in my country, a hundred years after the last competition in France [of the Summer Games]. It is a childhood dream that emerges. I dream of going to other sports that we don't have time to see the rest of the year: judo, handball and men's women's basketball, 3x3 in basketball, volleyball, canoeing, even skateboarding! ".

“When you see what the French teams have achieved, continues Mbappé, remembering the victorious summer of French co-sport in Tokyo.

We win in volleyball, in hand, we are a finalist in basketball against the United States.
