Mona Francis Selected as Last Torchbearer for Olympic Torch Relay in Loiret

The 33-year-old athlete Mona Francis, notably European champion in paratriathlon in 2022, has been selected to be the last torchbearer in the department. One of the four captains at the national level of the torch relay will light the cauldron in the city of Joan of Arc, Wednesday, July 10, at the end of the day.

The suspense is therefore over. We now know who will be the last torchbearer when the Olympic flame passes through Loiret on Wednesday, July 10.

Like Arsène Wenger, Antoine Dupont, Danny Boon, Coralie Balmy, Daniel Narcisse, Yohann Diniz, Michael Guigou, Kevin Mayer, Allison Pineau and Jean-Michel Larqué, who lit the cauldron in different departments, the people of Loiret could expect a renowned personality to set the city of Joan of Arc alight.

Like the local Florian Rousseau, originally from Patay and triple Olympic champion in track cycling. The name of David Douillet, double Olympic champion in judo, had also circulated. It will not be anything.

It was finally Mona Francis, a 33-year-old paratriathlete registered in Saint-Herblain (Loire-Atlantique), but who now trains in Sandillon, who was chosen to be the last relay runner, in Orléans.
