After the success of the last edition of the show “Dancing with the Stars”, TF1 has decided to follow up with a new season. And to satisfy viewers, the production, which redoubles its efforts every year, has just struck a big blow. Swimming champion Florent Manaudou is in fact the first candidate announced, participating in the next season of the flagship program.
But while the athlete will soon have to train on the floor, on the arm of a professional dancer, he has just announced his departure for a distant destination..
Florent Manaudou in the casting of “Dancing with the Stars”
The last season of “Dancing with the Stars” was won by Natasha St-Pier… and marked by a big scandal with comedian Inès Reg. After the success of this edition full of twists and turns, it has just been confirmed thata new season will soon see the light of day. This Thursday, November 28, 2024, the name of the first candidate was also revealed. This is the swimming champion, Florent Manaudou.
“At the Rio Olympic Games in 2016, he was crowned Olympic vice-champion in the 50 m freestyle and the 4 x 100 m freestyle. Having become the spearhead of the French swimming team, he subsequently won a new silver medal in the 50m freestyle at the Tokyo Games On July 11, he was named flag bearer at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. 4th Games, Florent Manaudou once again shone by expanding his record with 2 bronze medals in the 50m freestyle and 4 x 100m medley.”rejoices the channel.
It remains to be seen whether the athlete will shine on the floor as much as he excels in the pools! We note that the name of its dancer has not yet been revealed, but there is no doubt that a key figure like Fauve Hautot, Candice Pascal or Inès Vandamme will be attributed to her.
A surprising departure for Qatar
The day after this announcement, Florent Manaudou, against all expectations, decided to leave the country. On Instagram, Laure Manaudou's little brother has just announced its arrival in Qatar. Simple vacation or departure for intensive training sessions? The athlete did not specify the reasons for his stay.
Everything suggests that the first hypothesis is the most plausible since Florent Manaudou will certainly have to start rehearsals for the first bonuses of “Dancing with the Stars”.
