Antoine Dupont trips…
The person responsible for the events ? The slightly raised ground60~/strong> of the Stade de France. It was enough for the rugby player to stumble. In the middle of the closing ceremony, while he was proudly wearing the colours of his country, the player almost fell in front of thousands of people.
…And amuses the gallery
The anecdote made many laugh. His stumbling entrance on stage alongside Pauline Ferrand-Prévot has sparked many reactions on X (Twitter). Internet users did not fail to point out the fact that he had come close to disaster.
“We have found”our François Hollande”: Antoine Dupont”, jokes a young man. “Antoine Dupont twisted his ankle, I hope he doesn't go to the hospital”, adds another one.
Or again : "Antoine Dupont who pretended to stumble “entering the Stade de France to prove he's human,” laughs one user. Followed by “Antoine Dupont on the verge of breaking his ankle during the ceremony. Fabien Galthié in sweats”. Half a second of imbalance which could not escape the fans of the international star.
