• Former tennis players Fabrice Santoro and Séverine Beltrame have created a platform whose aim is to bring together high-level athletes and sports fans.

  • The service is aimed at businesses, but also in a less traditional way individuals who dream of a one-on-one with their favorite champion.

  • About fifty athletes are referenced.

    But the list is not exhaustive.

    Most of them - a question of timing and availability - are young retirees.

Meeting your favorite athlete and rediscovering your childhood dreams for a few moments is the concept of this new service.

Former tennis player Séverine Beltrame has launched, with Fabrice Santoro and Christophe Carniel, the co-founder of the company Vogo, an Internet platform to open access to high-level athletes.

The service is intended in a fairly standard way for companies wishing to associate their image with an athlete during events (seminars, afterwork etc.).

But, more innovative, it also aims "to allow moments of sharing and meeting between high-level athletes and amateur athletes, whether for exchanges on the field or in video", details the former quarter-finalist at Wimbledon.

The services are chargeable. They depend in particular on the type of request, the notoriety and the track record of the athlete. “Our idea was to pool these services in order to make as many athletes as possible accessible. It is also a way to give visibility to those who have a little less than others, details the consultant on Bein Sport. We take care of everything, from the request to the organization of the meeting. In the meantime, we are refining the demand, we are contacting the athletes. It is the athlete who sets a price for his part according to the request for service made to him. "

Among the fifty or so athletes listed, relatively few of them are still active.

Question of schedule.

If there is a majority of tennis players and rugby players, such as Marion Bartoli or Imanol Harinordoquy, many disciplines are represented.

Might as well shower hopes now: to meet mega stars, especially if they are still active, the probability is quite low.

Even if nothing prevents to give it a try.

"If an athlete is not on the list, we can always ask him", continues Montpellier.

This is the advantage of having a well-filled address book.
