After the heat of the Chaudron Vert the day before in the boiling Geoffroy-Guichard stadium in Saint-Étienne, the Olympic torch relay will gain a little momentum with the 39th stage which takes place in Haute-Savoie.
This Sunday June 23 is synonymous with Olympic Day celebrated throughout the world and perhaps a little more strongly in Haute-Savoie, highlighted throughout this day which will begin quite early with the first of the eight fragments. From 8:15 a.m., the first of the 171 porters of the day will set off from the departmental hotel in Annecy until 8:30 a.m. He will then leave for Évian-les-Bains at 8:45 a.m. for a stay of more than an hour in the city, including the collective relay. Golf will be in the spotlight at the Evian Resort Golf Club, which hosts one of the five majors of the LPGA Tour each year. This relay will be under the direction of Magali Genevray, a commissioner who has been loyal to the discipline for more than 20 years. The Evian fragment ends at 10 a.m. at Dolfus Park.
At 10:20 a.m., Héry-sur-Alby will emerge from anonymity for twenty minutes. Annemasse will then take over at 12:05 p.m. from its station to Place de la Libération at 1:05 p.m.
High place of French resistance during the Second World War, the Glières plateau in Fillière will be celebrated from 2:40 p.m. until 3 p.m. Cluses will continue at 3:55 p.m. from the Esserts square to its town hall at 4:55 p.m.
Excenevex will shine at 6:05 p.m. with a rowing session until 6:25 p.m. Without further ado, at 6:40 p.m., Chamonix-Mont-Blanc will be the final stage of the torch relay day. Arriving at Montenvers station, the convoy will wander through the streets of the city to reach the Aiguille du Midi cable car. He will then pass by the Olympic stadium and in front of the Ski and Mountaineering School before the goal of his day, the Place du Mont-Blanc for the lighting of the cauldron at 7:20 p.m.
