PODCAST. Paris 2024 Olympic Games: Félix Lebrun, new global “ping” phenomenon and candidate for an Olympic medal

À la découverte de Félix Lebrun, 7e mondial et grand espoir du tennis mondial. MIDI LIBRE – GIACOMO ITALIANO

At 17, Montpellier Félix Lebrun is the future star of world table tennis. Midi Libre met him for its podcast "Seeds of Champions", dedicated to regional athletes who are aiming for the summits during the Paris Olympic Games this summer.

One Lebrun can hide another. In recent months, in the world of table tennis, it has been difficult to miss the two blond guys from Montpellier. Licensed to the Entente Nîmes-Montpellier, Alexis (20 years old) and Félix (17 years old) multiply tournaments in the four corners of the planet to face the best. In China, the country of “ping”, they are already considered stars. Félix, 6th in the world and a fan of the “penholder” hold, has become a serious candidate for a medal for the Paris Olympic Games. His victory at the tournament in Goa, India, attests to this.

Rather bac or medal ?

After giving the floor to Alexis in the first episode of "Seeds of Champions”, it's little brother's turn to introduce himself. Ambitions, memories of the Olympics, Baccalaureate or medal in Paris… Félix, currently in South Korea for the World Team Championships, speaks in the Midi Libre podcast dedicated to athletes from the region.
