VIDEO. Paris 2024 Olympic Games: “We tested for you” the serve of Nicolas Le Goff, Olympic volleyball champion

Midi Libre wets the jersey. Discover our section "We tested it for you", represented by Dominique Mercadier, journalist in the sports department. Its mission ? To test all sports face to face with the champions.

Remember his name and his face. Dominique Mercadier, 59, journalist at Midi Libre and senior reporter in Paris for the Olympic Games. Some discovered him as a torchbearer on May 13 in the streets of Montpellier, others will get attached to him from now on. Because this guy has “tried everything” with the champions of Olympus… At his expense, too bad for his teeth. Click, engine. There is Carmouze, Deschien, a failed YouTuber in his attempts, but above all the passion to tell the Paris Olympics with precision and impertinence. Striptease with Domi. Ready, steady, go!

First challenge, receiving the serve from the MHSC-VB center, Olympic champion Nicolas Le Goff.

Domi's feelings : “Nicolas Le Goff, reigning Olympic champion with the French volleyball team, is not known for his serve. The Montpellier player prefers to start the exchange with a dead leaf or a floating ball to deceive the opponent.

The central defender of the Blues, winners of the League of Nations on Sunday June 30 in Poland, leaves the strength and the club blows to others. The result is surprising.

Falls, bruises and a few successful returns

One winter afternoon, in his Castelnau-le-Lez hall, we were able to verify this. Catching the projectile, even if it was thrown at “only” 60 km/h, is a challenge. A challenge met with falls, bruises on the body and a few successful returns.

Nicolas Le Goff is ready for a new gold medal. For us, it's less certain."
