Opening of the Beijing Olympics The Covid has slowed down

The Winter Olympics opened this Friday in a heavy context, between Covid-19, diplomatic tensions and boycott. Interview with Nathalie Péchalat, president of the French Ice Sports Federation and head of the French delegation in Beijing.

With the zero Covid strategy, athletes are confined to a health bubble and subjected to daily screenings. France, which has sent 88 athletes to China, is aiming for fifteen medals in Beijing, as at the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang.
