Atlanta 1996. Laura Flessel, epee © Pierre Lahalle/L'Équipe 13 August 1996. On this incredible face, one does not know what to read: the rage of having won or the fear of defeat. Laura Flessel had just won a close match (13-11) but she would fall in the next round, in the quarter-finals, against China's Li Na. Since she has been coming to the Games, the Frenchwoman has always brought back medals (2 gold in 1996, 1 bronze in 2000, 1 silver and 1 bronze in 2004). Soon, it will no longer be a question of medals but of appointments: flag bearer at the 2012 Olympics and then minister in 2017, the "Wasp" has created quite a buzz in French sport. Single later print. Edition 1/1. Printed on Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta Satin 300g paper. Flamant art frame. 53 X 80 cm
