Trapped in a perilous situation after a paragliding flight, Marc Lièvremont was successfully rescued by the gendarmes of Reunion Island. The former coach of the XV of France bordered on drama.
At the end of the 9th day of Top 14 completed nine days ago, the French rugby championship began a three-week break during the international break. Therefore, the broadcaster Canal+ was naturally able to grant leave to its oval ball commentators and consultants, among whom Marc Lièvremont took the opportunity to experience thrills in Reunion. However, the former coach of the XV of France went a little hard and perhaps experienced the scare of his life.
Indulging in a paragliding flight in order to enjoy the splendid landscapes of Bourbon Island, the Catalan found himself trapped in the town of Saint-Joseph, stuck 500 meters above the ground on a rampart, we learned this Tuesday the Réunion Gendarmerie. “Marc Lièvremont became, against his will, a spectator of the alpine techniques deployed by the PGHM soldiers to help him. After many efforts and strong emotions, it was with joy that the rescuers and Marc Lièvremont posed to immortalize this help” commented a gendarme.
Marc Lièvremont: “I was lucky, you shouldn’t play with that”
All smiles alongside the rescuers, the former 3rd French line is nevertheless aware of having avoided the worst. “I love it but now I'm telling myself that I was really lucky and you shouldn't play with that. I burned a joker and I might not get two” he reacted in the columns of Midi Libre. And for good reason. He confided that he found himself helpless and hanging from a branch when his sail became entangled and then torn on contact with the vegetation. More fear than therefore, viewers will find from November 23 the consultant commenting on the Top 14 matches, alongside Eric Bayle.
