00:00Grande Halle, which was an empty space 15 days ago, is almost finished today.
00:05We set up about 30 stands all over the space.
00:09We're going to be on time, we should be ready for Thursday morning.
00:12And at this point, we'll be ready for Thursday morning.
00:30The general goal is to make it the beating heart of the French team.
00:58For the first time, the Olympic Games have been held at home for more than 100 years.
01:02We want to make sure that the moment in which we live, the moment that will be historic
01:06because we are going to welcome these Games again,
01:08we can make sure that our athletes can have the historical celebration they deserve.
01:13We expect a lot of medals.
01:15We expect our results to be really high-performing,
01:18at the level of what we are doing.
01:20We wanted to offer them a place to celebrate this with their loved ones,
01:23with their supporters.
01:24It will be the first reason to be part of the Club.
01:44It's a fan zone, it's another way of celebrating.
01:46There will be people here who have been on the competition sites,
01:49there will be others who have not been on the competition sites.
01:51On the other hand, here you will be able to come in numbers.
01:53If you are a group of 15 friends and you want to celebrate the athlete you know,
01:57with whom you were in high school together,
01:59you can do it here because it will be accessible, it will be easy to access.
02:02This is the DNA that we wanted to make and give to Club France.
02:07It's not about opposing the competition model,
02:10it's just about making it an extension of the Games.
02:12It's another way of doing the Games and that's how we created Club France.
