Athletes from the Toulouse region who have shone at the Olympic and Paralympic Games are being honored at the Capitole this Wednesday, September 18. And Antoine Dupont will of course be there, to his great pleasure as he tells La Dépêche du Midi.
Here we go again, but this time in a “slightly more chauvinistic” mode, according to Antoine Dupont. Four days after the grand parade of champions organized on the Champs-Élysées for all the French delegations (Olympic and Paralympic), it’s time for a Toulouse-Toulouse party this Wednesday, September 18 at the Capitole.

With 15 medals won by athletes from the Ville Rose and its region at the Olympic and Paralympic Games, there is reason to celebrate. And for the occasion, the two Toulouse stars Léon Marchand and Antoine Dupont will be there. As will many others. “We have the impression that it never stops,” the Stade’s scrum-half savors with The Midi Dispatchwho will soon be back on the Top 14 pitches. It must be said that we have not yet had the opportunity to celebrate with the Toulousains. It will be a last moment of celebration, a little more chauvinistic, with all these people from the region who supported us. Being able to enjoy with them is important.”

And when the Olympic rugby 7s champion is asked about the significant share of medals won by Toulouse sport during these Olympic Games (9 out of 64 medals), the child from Castelnau-Magnoac responds immediately: “We’ve been talked about a lot (smiles). I heard that we’ve had more medals than some countries. So when people say that Toulouse is the best city, it’s true (laughs).”
