I had a lot of people, 37 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 4: you know, athletes in my family. My godmother used to 38 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,119 Speaker 4: be a basketball player for many years and she would 39 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 4: come back from different corners of the world with T shirts. 40 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 4: And this is how I traveled the world in the 41 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 4: first place when I was a child, So it definitely 42 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 4: influenced my childhood. And then I practiced some sports myself, 43 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 4: not at a very competitive level, but at university level. 44 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 4: I used to row in a eight boat and this 45 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 4: is how I actually met my husband. So sport has 46 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 4: always been very connected. Two different team ilestone in my life. 47 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 4: But the first part of my career I was working 48 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 4: in consulting and I was helping companies with transformation projects. 49 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 4: So it's a little bit by chance. I entered the 50 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 4: IOC twenty years ago. I was actually already in Switzerland 51 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 4: and I had a newborn and my former boss, who 52 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 4: was really a montor, said that I should get in 53 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 4: contact with the IOC, and this is how the first 54 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,119 Speaker 4: contact was done. 55 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 3: And so you reached out and got in touch and 56 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 3: what happened from there. 57 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 4: I've been always very lucky in life, so yes, I 58 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 4: got in touch with the director for Olympic Games, and 59 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 4: then he directed me to the director John that was 60 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 4: new at the time and was looking for a right hand, 61 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 4: and it happened to propose me the job that didn't exist. 62 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 4: And I love to start with a plumpshet of paper, 63 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 4: and here I was. So I started at the right 64 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 4: hand and did different jobs until now. 65 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 3: That's amazing And can you give us a rundown about 66 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 3: your current role with the IOSA? 67 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, So I am currently the Director for Corporate 68 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 4: and Sustainable Development, which means I have basically two hats. 69 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 4: One is to help the implementation of the strategic Roadmap 70 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 4: of the Olympic Movement Olympic Agenda twenty twenty, and the 71 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 4: second is sustainable development. So it means really my role 72 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 4: is to acceally change in different fields of environmental and 73 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 4: social responsibility, including gender equality. 74 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 3: I have fortunately been a part of the Olympics myself 75 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 3: as an Olympian, and it's such a special thing in 76 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 3: so many different areas of life, but it's quite an 77 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 3: amazing opportunity that can open doorways and open conversations and 78 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 3: has the ability to really start conversations around some of 79 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 3: those broader topics. How do you think those things in 80 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 3: your role obviously aligned with these really important values of 81 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 3: the Olympics. 82 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 4: And definitely I mean I think with the convening power 83 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 4: of the Olympic Games and the acceleration factor because we 84 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 4: know it's taking place at a certain date, we can 85 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 4: do things that normally people can't. So this is really 86 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 4: striking in many different ways, you know, on sustainety or 87 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 4: gender equality, and if you take gender equality, the fact 88 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 4: that we are going to reach parity in the field 89 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 4: of the in Paris, you know, is an amazing historical milestone, 90 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 4: fast spot, but also beyond sport, and it took us 91 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 4: a century to get there, but it's a very important 92 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 4: showcase of what can be done in terms of ginger 93 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 4: equality globally. So the Games are on one side, I mean, 94 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 4: because of their visibility and their power to inspire an 95 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 4: amazing platform promote ginger equality, and also a showcase of 96 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 4: the possibilities that can be implemented in sport. 97 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 2: But beyond sport. 98 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 3: You've touched on the fact that it did take a century. 99 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 3: What are some of the steps that have been put 100 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 3: in place to achieve that Even though it's a very 101 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 3: long time, it's a big positive that we're actually reaching 102 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:29,799 Speaker 3: it in twenty twenty four. 103 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 4: Yes, indeed, it took a century, and as you may remember, 104 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 4: in nineteen hundred, the first edition of the Games taking 105 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 4: place in Paris, we had only two percent of the 106 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 4: participants who were women, which I mean, it is just amazing, 107 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 4: but it was the first edition including women, and then 108 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 4: twenty four years later only four percent were women, and 109 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 4: we had to wait until Montreal seventy six to get 110 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 4: to the twenty percent, and it only rests that actually 111 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 4: we started increasing the participation of women athlet at the 112 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 4: Games in London. This was a turning point in twenty 113 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 4: twelve because women competed for the first time in all sports, 114 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 4: and the IOC introduced a rule by which they ask 115 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 4: every national Ompic committee to send at least one women 116 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 4: and one man. 117 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 2: To the Olympic Games. 118 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 4: And then in the mid of the pandemic in Tokyo 119 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 4: in twenty twenty one, we succeeded in reaching forty eight percent, 120 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 4: and you and women recognized that it was actually an 121 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 4: incredible important moment for advancing gender equality because you know, 122 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 4: I mean, the pandemic affected more women than men, are 123 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 4: more severely women, and despite that, we're able to increase 124 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 4: the participation of women at the Olympic Games. So it 125 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,799 Speaker 4: was also very very strong signal that we shouldn't stop fighting. 126 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 4: And now we're reaching parity in Paris, exact parity. And 127 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 4: this is Sigens just to your question, this is sianks 128 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 4: to the IUC really distributing a nicole uta of places for. 129 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 2: Women and men. 130 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 4: So that's really coming from the top, you know, us 131 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 4: deciding that now we want fifty to fifty. 132 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 3: And reflecting back on obviously it was such a long 133 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 3: time ago, that that century ago, but there's been so 134 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 3: many attitudes that have have to had to shift throughout 135 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 3: that process, changing this idea of women, people thinking women 136 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 3: couldn't run a marathon because their bodies weren't capable of 137 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 3: doing it. What has that process been like in a 138 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 3: role like yours, in having to have these conversations to 139 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 3: challenge these archaic views sometimes. 140 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 2: So I cannot talk for a century. 141 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 4: I can only talk for the time I've been in 142 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 4: charge of this topic, which is just a few years 143 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 4: as part of Olympic agenda. The way we have addressed 144 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 4: it is, you know, it used to be the concern 145 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 4: of many women, and I think with the leadership of 146 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 4: a President tomaspar it was really positioned as an executive 147 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 4: priority and as a question of good governance that concerns everyone, 148 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 4: men and women. So it was a very very different positioning, 149 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 4: you know, in terms of how we address the topic, 150 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 4: and by putting really gender equality at the very heart 151 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 4: of a strategy and explaining that it's a topic that 152 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 4: everybody should embrace because we cannot afford to leave half 153 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 4: of the world population aside. It's just common sense, you know, 154 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 4: It's not just to because we want to please women. 155 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 4: It's just we cannot get doe without half of the 156 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 4: population's competencies. So I think it made it clear that 157 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 4: everybody had to find solutions. So the way we have 158 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 4: addressed it with all the constituents of the Lank movement 159 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 4: is we have defined strategy like for everything else, you know, 160 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 4: with objectives that get across the Swiss shares of responsibility 161 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 4: we have. So as an organization, the UC, we have 162 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 4: to work the talk. Otherwise we are now credible and 163 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 4: under the leadership of a president, and as part of 164 00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 4: Olympic Agenda twenty twenty, we have multiplied by two the 165 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 4: women in the membership, going from twenty percent to over 166 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 4: forty percent. And the same you know, in the commissions, 167 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 4: we went from it is even more twenty percent to 168 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 4: actually full parity in the commission which had the advisory 169 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 4: body to the political level, so we. 170 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 2: Really walked up to internally. 171 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 4: And then at the Games we decided already ten years 172 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 4: ago that we wanted to reach parity in Paris, and 173 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 4: we put in place everything that will help us to 174 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 4: get there. And then at the Olympic movement level. We 175 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 4: are engaging day in and day out, National Olympic Committee 176 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 4: and federations across five topics. Participation because if you don't 177 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 4: build the pipelines, you will not have Olympians like you. 178 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 2: But also leadership because if you. 179 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 4: Don't have women at the table, they are not part 180 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 4: of the decision making process. 181 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 2: Safe sport because we know it's terrible. 182 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 4: You know, it's very very important for all athletes, including 183 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 4: women portrayal because it's very nice to have a women 184 00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 4: in the field of play. But if we don't give 185 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 4: them the visibility, you know, they will not be role 186 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 4: model for future generation. And if you can, if you 187 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 4: can see it, you can beat So it's very important 188 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 4: that we give and provide this visibility and l's but 189 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 4: not leased resource allocation because we want, you know, women 190 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 4: to benefit from the resources equally. So to have a 191 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 4: very systematic approach to position this topic at the very 192 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 4: executive level help us make great progress. And the last 193 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 4: thing that is very important that this is also stressed 194 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 4: by you and women. You know, when you measure things, 195 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 4: you get them done, So we actually measure, so we 196 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 4: have dashboard for different editions of the Games now of 197 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 4: the breakdown of women by all categories of people accredited 198 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 4: at the Games. And we're able to engage with an 199 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 4: nc for instance, every time a National Olympic Committee comes 200 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 4: to an AMP house or we meet them elsewhere, I 201 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 4: go with my dashboard and I have the full delegation 202 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 4: by role, so medical, doctor, team leaders, you know, chef 203 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 4: de mission, et cetera, athletes, and I know the exact 204 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 4: gender breakdown, and then you engage in a very different conversation. 205 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 4: It's not you know, perception, it's facts. So you put 206 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 4: the fact on the table and you say, okay, then 207 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 4: what are your plans to do better at the next 208 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 4: edition of the Games. And even you know, with countries 209 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 4: which are very advanced in gender equality, and interesting discussion 210 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 4: because suddenly they realized that they put tick action and 211 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 4: it was not even in the rata. So that's the 212 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 4: type of measures we put in peace. 213 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 3: And so you've touched on this idea around the good governance, 214 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 3: the fact that it's common sense and there's obviously a 215 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 3: huge amount of work that's been done with the athletes 216 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 3: to achieve that gender parody. You've touched on some of 217 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 3: those support roles we know in coaching that women aren't 218 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 3: very well represented at that level medical staff, those kind 219 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 3: of roles. What does that look like from your end? 220 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 3: Obviously you're having these conversations with facts with the NOSS, 221 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 3: but do you put quotas in place in future? What 222 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 3: does that look like? 223 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 4: So we have two objectives that we committed two at 224 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:05,079 Speaker 4: the spot for Generation Equality meeting that was all study 225 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,599 Speaker 4: in twenty twenty one in France under the patronage of 226 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 4: President Macroon and you and women. One was to consolidate 227 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 4: the Olympic Games as a platform to promote and progress 228 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 4: gender equality and I will talk to that. And second, 229 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 4: to continue to accelerate the meaningful representation of women in 230 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 4: leadership and decision making roles. It comes to the Olympic Games. 231 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 4: Obviously we will reach parity in the field of play, 232 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 4: but beyond that, we are encouraging all the constituents to 233 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 4: go further in and progress gender equality in different roles. 234 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 4: We are very happy that actually in Paris, in the 235 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 4: technical official category, we will have already six federations who 236 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 4: have officially said that they will reach parity. And so 237 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 4: you see we're progressing. And I'm sure and convinced that 238 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 4: after the Games I can report to you that we 239 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 4: have also made a lot of progress in team management 240 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 4: because all the conversations we have had with the National 241 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 4: Anti Committee, you know, will have results. But as you said, 242 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 4: you know, there are categories where we are really far 243 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 4: away from parity, including the coaches category where women represented 244 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 4: only thirteen percent of all coaches at the Olympic Games 245 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 4: Tokyo twenty twenty. So here we need to take drastic measures. 246 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 4: We are discussing with all the constituents. Obviously, it's difficult 247 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 4: because in some sport and individual sports, you know, this 248 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 4: is the athlete with choosing the coach, so it's very 249 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 4: far away from us. But what we are doing is 250 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 4: we have put in place the Wish Program that is 251 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 4: financed by Olympics Solidarity, that is training, you know, dozens 252 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 4: of women across different sports and geographies to equip them 253 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 4: to be able to coach at international level and to 254 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,319 Speaker 4: also provide them with exposure. 255 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 2: So as a result, we already. 256 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 4: Have six women who have benefited from this program that 257 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 4: we participated. But we participate and we'll be coach at 258 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 4: the Olympic Games in Paris twenty twenty four, so we 259 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 4: see progress. Obviously, you know, not maybe at the speed 260 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 4: we want, but we are also you know, convinced that 261 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 4: we will get there ultimately. 262 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 3: What are the words that you talked about in the 263 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 3: strategy which I loved was portrayal I believe in about 264 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 3: the visibility aspect. What does scheduling of the Games look 265 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 3: like to address something like visibility and the portrayal of 266 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 3: female athletes. 267 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 4: I mean, scheduling is fundamental for us because we know, 268 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 4: you know, depending on when the events take place, you 269 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 4: don't have the same visibility as through the broadcast because 270 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 4: the event is mainly consumes through the broadcast of the Games. 271 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 4: So teams have been working very hard to balance the 272 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 4: events between the women events and the men events, not 273 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 4: just during the weekends, but throughout the two weeks of competition. 274 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 4: And so it means that day by day now we 275 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 4: have balanced events between the two genders, and we also 276 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 4: make sure that they have the exact same visibility, you know, 277 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 4: when it's broadcasted. 278 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 2: One or two examples, one. 279 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 4: Which will be the most striking in Paris Is we 280 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 4: have reversed the order of the marathon, so the last 281 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 4: event of the Olympic Games will be the woman marathon 282 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 4: and the medle will be awarded at the closing ceremony, 283 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 4: and as you know, you know, all eyes are on 284 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 4: the closing ceremony, so it will be I mean, imagine 285 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 4: how it will feel for the winner, you know, the 286 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 4: gold medalist of the marathon to be awarded, you know, 287 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 4: the medal at the closing ceremony. That's just amazing. But 288 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 4: more importantly, the root of the marathon, for both men 289 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 4: and women, will be very symbolic because it will take 290 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 4: the route that the French women have taken during the 291 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 4: French Revolution from Paris to Versailles to go and ask 292 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 4: the king to come back to the city of Paris 293 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 4: and give them more bread and resources. So it's a 294 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 4: very very symbolic route in the French history, and. 295 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 2: This will be the root of bos Marato. 296 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 4: So you see quite a lot of measures being taken, 297 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 4: but also a lot of symbolism behind. 298 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 3: One of the things I also saw which I thought 299 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 3: was incredible was the fact that prior to the marathon, 300 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 3: normal people can run the route. 301 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 2: Is that correct, Yes, that's correct. 302 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 4: So there is something very exciting in Paris. We have 303 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 4: what they call the Mahaton purtus, so the marathon for 304 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 4: a whole and during the night a lot of. 305 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 2: People you me, not you, because you are a lumption. 306 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 2: I mean, the general people will be able to actually. 307 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 4: Run this maraton on the exact same route as the 308 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 4: athlete the next day. And here you also have parity 309 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 4: in the participant. 310 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's amazing. One thing I'd also love to touch 311 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 3: on when we posted a couple of times about this 312 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 3: fifty to fifty gender parody and what a positive step 313 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 3: it is, and it's been incredibly engagement. People love to 314 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 3: see this gender parody. There's a couple of people who 315 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 3: talk about certain sports that don't have gender parity in 316 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 3: terms of the number of teams that are able to qualify. 317 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 3: For example, in football, I think men sixteen and women 318 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 3: is twelve teams. What does that look like from your perspective? 319 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 3: And what level of involvement is there from the global 320 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 3: sporting federations themselves in that decision making process. 321 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 4: So, I mean, obviously you know that the program is 322 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 4: discussed very carefully with all the federations. We know, I 323 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 4: mean you probably know that we have twenty eight sports 324 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 4: out of thirty two which are reaching parity. 325 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 2: So this is. 326 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 4: An ongoing conversation and where we are not so far, 327 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 4: you know, from reaching parity in all sports. So we 328 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 4: continue the conversation with them and we are not going 329 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 4: to let go. 330 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 3: I like it. I'd love to chat about the sustainability 331 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 3: component of your role. I imagine you've been asked a 332 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 3: lot of times about the quality of the water in 333 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 3: the river. What is that What does that process look 334 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 3: like to get the river ready to go for events? 335 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 4: So maybe before we speak about the rivers. Sosainety has 336 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 4: been at the very heart of the project of Paris 337 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 4: from the beginning. And why because Paris decided to be 338 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 4: a candidate to host the Games as part of a 339 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 4: new strategic roadmap and susteinty was one of the key 340 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 4: pillars of this roadmap. 341 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 2: So from day. 342 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 4: One we really engage on how with Paris how they 343 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 4: could mainstream gender sestainty. And they have committed, as you 344 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 4: may know, to reduce by half the carbon footprint of 345 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 4: the Games, which is drastic and which means that they 346 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 4: have really looked at everything that has an impact on 347 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 4: the footprint, whether it's maximizing the use of existing venue 348 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 4: and using temporary ones, whether it's using public transportation to 349 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,120 Speaker 4: get there and bikes, whether it's connecting all the. 350 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 2: Venues to renewable energies through the grid not. 351 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 4: Depending on jesl generator, whether it's cutting by half the 352 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 4: carbon footprint of a meal everything, or and very important, 353 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 4: delivering a matter of footprint that allows them to know 354 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 4: that ninety percent of what they have bought for the 355 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 4: games as already a second life. So they've been very 356 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 4: sophisticated on how they addressed sternblity. But now that you 357 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 4: come to River Senne, and because I was born in 358 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 4: Paris and parish and originally and River enn has been 359 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 4: part of my childhood and it's very dear to my heart. 360 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 4: Since I was born, I've heard about, you know, being 361 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 4: able to swim back in the Seine. 362 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 2: By the way, my grandmother. 363 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 4: Used to swim and my mother did swim, but it 364 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 4: was not in the water of the sel. It was 365 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 4: a swimming pool which was actually on the river Sene, 366 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 4: but you know, the water was not coming from the sel. 367 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 2: So so it was on the shore. 368 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 4: But the swimming pools was literally in the river, but 369 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 4: the water was not coming from the river. 370 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 2: But it was very very popular, you. 371 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 4: Know, after the Second World War, people will go there 372 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 4: and sunbaths. So there is a tradition already, you know, 373 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 4: in various families of actually being close to the River 374 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 4: Sen or even swimming, not really in the water of 375 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 4: the set, but in the set. Now what is amazing 376 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 4: because it has been decades we talk about that and 377 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 4: when I was actually a child along the River Sen 378 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 4: you had two big motorways, so you could not even reach, 379 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 4: you know, close to the sel And now you know, 380 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 4: close to the Seln you have. 381 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 2: Passways, you can bike. 382 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 4: The cars have been removed, so it's already a much 383 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 4: more enjoyable expense. But without the Games, I don't think 384 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 4: we could have accelerated the cleaning of the set. And 385 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,640 Speaker 4: this is the type of things that the Olympic Games provide, 386 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 4: is this acceleration factor, because it could have eventually been done, 387 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 4: probably in another century, but certainly all eyes on Paris, 388 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 4: all eyes on the River Sene, especially because the opening 389 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 4: ceremony will take place there and then you have everyone, 390 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 4: all the local authorities you know, putting in place actions 391 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 4: to meet this day lighte So yes, it's a challenge, 392 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 4: it's a very important acceleration. 393 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 2: It's challenging, especially if we have a big. 394 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 4: Rainfalls but ultimately I think the Games will allude it 395 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 4: to happen. 396 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 3: It's quite an amazing thing to think about, even the 397 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 3: opening ceremony. When I thought about potentially trying to go 398 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 3: to the Olympics again for rugby seventh, that was one 399 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 3: thing that really drew me back, Like it's quite a 400 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,199 Speaker 3: spectacle to think about the history of the river and 401 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 3: what's involved in that. So it's a very special thing, 402 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 3: isn't it. 403 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 4: It is a special thing because you know, I mean 404 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 4: when I used to be in Paris and I was traveling, 405 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 4: I mean when I came back, really where I felt 406 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 4: I was back home is when I was sitting on 407 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 4: a bridge, you know, on the river sid. That's really 408 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 4: what Paris is. So to imagine, you know, all these 409 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 4: athletes on boats crossing Paris and going through Notre Dame, 410 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 4: you know, the Eiffel Tower. 411 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 2: It would be amazing. 412 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely. Can I ask you what event are you 413 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 3: most looking for watching at the Paras Olympics. 414 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 4: There are many. I hope I will get the time 415 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 4: to watch them. I mean, first and foremost, I would 416 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 4: like to go to the Aquatic Center. That is the 417 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 4: single sport venue being built at the occasion of the 418 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,919 Speaker 4: Games in the north part of Paris, which is a 419 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 4: disadvantage neighborhood where very young but a lot of people unemployed. 420 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 4: And this swimming pool is very symbolic because this is 421 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 4: a place where one out of two child age ten 422 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 4: to twelve do not know how to does not know 423 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 4: how to swim. And with the Games we are accelerating 424 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 4: you know, both infrastructure available for these children to learn 425 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 4: how to swim, but also we train a lot of 426 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 4: swim teachers. 427 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 2: So for me to be. 428 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 4: At this aquatic center that will be a legacy of 429 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 4: the Olympic Games will be very symbolic and emotional. Obviously, 430 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 4: I would like to go see some events in the 431 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 4: urban park at the Concord because it's just amazing. I mean, 432 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 4: pregnance and such sports have been you know, discovery for 433 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 4: me when I was at the use of pigains Buenos Arres, 434 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 4: beach Voye under the Hifel powers unique and rowing investier 435 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 4: man because I used to row, so always you know, 436 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 4: very exciting as well. 437 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 3: Plenty on the radar. You've contributed a huge amount to 438 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 3: sport and the Olympic Games to finish USLF. What do 439 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 3: you hope will be a legacy that you can leave. 440 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 4: I would be very selfish if I think I can 441 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 4: leave a legacy myself on my own. I believe that 442 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 4: we have, I mean already in Paris with many stakeholders, 443 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 4: the legacy has already started and has been to a 444 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 4: certain extent delivered because millions of people have already benefited 445 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 4: for more sport in the daily life. 446 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 2: For instance, you. 447 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 4: Know, five million of people have benefited from one thousand 448 00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 4: projects that I've been giving them access to new opportunities 449 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 4: through sport. But also many primary schools have benefited for 450 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 4: this introduction of suchy minus of physical activity daily at 451 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 4: school but more generally at the IOC. I believe what 452 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 4: I probably have contributed to as part of Olympic Agenda 453 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 4: twenty twenty is really to drive transformation on susteinty on 454 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 4: gender equality and a very systematic mariner leveraging some of 455 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 4: the business toolkits I knew, you know, applied to our world. 456 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 4: Because at the end of the day, you know, everything 457 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 4: we've been talking about is about you know, delivering results. 458 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 4: This is what we do in sports, but this is 459 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 4: what we need also to do in sestermety in gender equality. 460 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 4: So it's about setting goals, you know, putting an approach 461 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 4: in place to meet these goals and measuring results. 462 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, I love that.
