There are so manyexceptional human beings<\/strong> which one could dream oftake on existence<\/strong>, of all nature<\/strong> and everything horizon<\/strong> : A visionary philosopher<\/strong>, A inventor<\/strong> or a genius scientist<\/strong>, A unrivaled artist<\/strong>, A actor<\/strong> or a moving musician<\/strong>, A man who started from nothing<\/strong> who built a fortune<\/strong>, A extraordinary athlete<\/strong>, a soul<\/strong> whose kindness transcends borders<\/strong>, A politician<\/strong> who marked his time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L'human ideal<\/strong> is also varied<\/strong> that there ishuman beings<\/strong> on Earth. As far as I'm concerned, it has evolved<\/strong> with theage<\/strong>. Child<\/strong>, My father<\/strong> represented for me a extraordinary man<\/strong>. Teenager<\/strong>, these are the science fiction authors<\/strong> and of comics<\/strong> who fed my dreams<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, at theadulthood<\/strong>, I discovered the emblematic figures<\/strong> of the Silicon Valley<\/strong>, become essential<\/strong> in the modern world<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the years<\/strong>, comes the harsh reality<\/strong> of the life<\/strong> : his benefits<\/strong>, but above all its homework<\/strong> towards the relatives<\/strong> and the Company<\/strong>. Part of the illusions<\/strong> flies away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here comes theage of reason<\/strong>, when we realize that the time already lived<\/strong> far exceeds what we have left. So, a little is enough for us delight<\/strong> and to us to amaze<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet even at this stage, there are still questions arising extraordinary nuggets<\/strong>. These last ones years<\/strong>, L'man<\/strong> who me fascinates<\/strong> the most is, without a doubt, Leon Marchand<\/strong> \u2014 the largest French swimmer<\/strong> of all time, and perhaps soon the best<\/strong> that the world<\/strong> has known. Thefuture<\/strong> will tell us. He is not the only one to have shone<\/strong> in this sport<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnny Weissmuller<\/strong>, in his time, was famous<\/strong> not only for its exploits<\/strong> in swimming<\/strong>, but above all to have incarnate<\/strong> the first Tarzan<\/strong> At movie theater<\/strong>, immortalized by his mythical cry<\/strong> when he was swinging from liana to liana<\/strong> in the jungle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another French<\/strong> also marked thehistory<\/strong> : Alfred Nakache<\/strong>, unforgettable champion<\/strong>, whose tragic destiny<\/strong> was hit by the Shoah<\/strong>. Yet he has survived<\/strong> to thehorror<\/strong> of extermination camp<\/strong> ofAuschwitz<\/strong>. His strength<\/strong> and his courage<\/strong> probably have it saved<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the indelible names<\/strong> of the swimming<\/strong> also figure Mark Spitz<\/strong>, author of a monumental feat<\/strong> to 1972 Olympic Games<\/strong> with seven gold medals<\/strong>. Then, at the beginning of the 2000s<\/strong>, came the reign<\/strong> of Michael Phelps<\/strong>, L'man of all records<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today it's the turn of Leon Marchand<\/strong> to shine brightly. It is now part of the very closed circle<\/strong> of the three swimmers<\/strong> having won at least four individual titles<\/strong> during the same Olympiad<\/strong>, picking up four gold medals<\/strong> to Paris 2024 Games<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what makes me dream<\/strong> now. I never tire of seeing the videos<\/strong> of each of his exploits during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To end with a bit of humor. Here are some graphics that a very dear virtual friend made available to me. These graphics are loosely inspired by our current national hero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
