Probably wrong thread but A small question to our French users:

 

is it possible to buy somewhere all printed editions of L’Equipe from the Olympic days?

 

I have a L’Equipe app and I could look through all the editions (with a lot of Google Translate help) but I would like to have them in print. I think L’Equipe made a really great job these days.

No, unfortunatly, I dont think that's possible.

"7 in 10 Canadians (27 million) tuned into the extensive television coverage of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 broadcast by CBC/Radio-Canada and its partners over 17 days, with record-breaking audiences also coming to digital platforms, demonstrating the enduring appeal and relevance of the Olympic Games in Canada."

 

This is an unreal statistic!

The Olympics are not doing too bad. Some numbers in France.

 

• 95% of french people have watched the Olympics (at least one minute)
• On average, every french person have watched 24 hours of it (that's the craziest statistic)
• 24.4 millions have watched the Opening Ceremony (historic record for french television)
• 15 millions watched the 4th Gold of Léon Marchand
