Their day of glory has arrived. The swimmers from the French Riviera who shone at the London Olympic Games are about to receive the honor they deserve. A grand parade is scheduled for Friday on the Promenade des Anglais.
Licensed to Olympic Nice Natation, Camille Muffat, Yannick Agnel, Charlotte Bonnet, Clément Lefert, and Anna Santamans represented their city proudly at the London Olympic Games. As proof, the first four won medals. The fifth, having qualified in the 50-meter freestyle, did not make it past the semifinals (4th), but her mindset was impeccable.
To reward them, the city is preparing a celebration in their honor, which will take place on Friday, starting at 6:30 PM. The swimmers will parade on the Promenade des Anglais (closed at the level of Boulevard Gambetta for the occasion) on an open-top bus heading towards the Jacques-Cotta space.
Their arrival on site is scheduled for 7 PM. The competitors will then interact with the public in the presence of municipal authorities. Films of their achievements will be shown on a giant screen. Fireworks and music will beautifully punctuate the evening.
