The Jules-Rimet Sport and Culture Association has selected four works for the 2024 edition of the Jules-Rimet Prize for a book dedicated to sport. The aim will be to designate the successor to Serge Airoldi, who won last year’s award for his novel L’Epreuve (Inculte editions). The choice of subjects selected is eclectic: from Alice Milliat, spokesperson for women’s sport, to Ayrton Senna, including athletics in ancient Greece and sailing. The Prize will be announced on November 28, in Paris, at the Trinquet de la Cavalerie.
