Isabelle Ithurburu with Tony Estanguet, the shock announcement

Isabelle Ithurburu has finished with her rugby parenthesis. Over the past three weeks, the former presenter was twice on the air at the weekend. Because in addition to officiating the presentation of 50'Inside every Saturday afternoon, the journalist was in charge of the fall tests of the French XV, broadcast on TF1. If Stefan Etcheverry officiated the comments alongside Thomas Lombard, the journalist was at the helm for on-air and post-match coverage.

However, Isabelle Ithurburu has not completely cut herself off from sport this week. Because after having received Lady Gaga, Julien Doré, Kate Winslet or Jean Dujardin, the Béarnaise in fact received Tony Estanguet for his interview of the week. “At 46, Tony Estanguet has written the most beautiful page of his career: organizing the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris”she wrote on social networks when announcing this meeting.

“Slightly special filming with a local from Pau”, confided the native of Pau in the teaser, not failing to recall that the president of the Paris Games had been discreet since the end of the Olympic sequence. “Tony Estanguet who we haven’t seen for three months”, she whispered.

“I’m taking care of myself. I'm rehabbing from the Olympics and Paralympics but it's nice to relive it all for a few minutes.”he explained when launching an intervention in the FDJ offices, before explaining that the holidays were approaching. Thursday, the former kayaker was also present at 104 as part of the “Demain le Sport” operation, in order to return to the Paris Games and their consequences on the future of French sport.
