The Paris Games, a collective story. Behind the success of Olympic and Paralympic Games hides from men and women in the shadows. Yet in the spotlight, it was a reserved woman who hid under the costume of the silver rider. And surprise, she grew up in Gouvernes! « She's a local child, she went to school here. I've known her since she was little. Morgane Suquart, the public does not know her other than as the silver rider who rode a horse on the Seine (for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games). » Co-founder of the company MMProcess (Quiberon), Morgane Suquart worked with son mari Madeg to build a boat. The constraint imposed? The boat must have been invisible to the eyes of viewers (maximum 10cm above the water)… A challenge met with flying colors! “ They worked in the greatest secrecy… When it was necessary to find a rider for this metal horse (with digital control), the person had to know how to handle this boat. It was not piloted remotely, it was piloted by the rider. » Every evening, Morgane and Madeg had the Seine to themselveswithout anyone. A chance for the two entrepreneurs. “ They found the first attempts more interesting… They were made at sea with waves and other sensations. The Seine is calmer… There was the crossing of the bridges which posed some small problems (with distance rules). » Originally reserved, Morgane Suquart stood out completely on launch night of the Paris Games. An opportunity that only comes once in a lifetime!
The silver rider shone on the international scene. Behind his screen, Nathalie Tortrat did not imagine that a child of Governors was hiding behind the famous horsewoman. “ Unlike the others, I didn't think for a minute that it could be a robot. » The shots on his face and his hands alerted him. “ I thought she was indeed a rider. The question was whether she was an extra or not. When I knew it was Morgane… I was happy for her because she made part of her dreams come true. Morgane is a discreet person… Always smiling, I remember this young girl to whom I read books for years. A smiling, very self-effacing young girl who pursued her dreams. » Very shy, Morgane feels happy in water, her element. Today, it is thanks to her company MMProcess that she can make a living from her passion. “ They were galvanized by the crowds there. Finally, the thunderous applause intoxicated us… They forgot all their fears and fears. » A first role which won Morgane Suquart on the front of the stage.

Governes is a small country with lots of talents. » For the occasion, Nathalie Tortrat even reopened the doors of the primary school in Morgane…A visit that brought back some memories!
