The French Center affiliated with the French embassy in Lebanon, in collaboration with "Sports Academy School," will open the "Olympic Exhibition" this evening, Wednesday, at 6:30 PM, at the center located in the premises of the Apostles School (Jounieh branch). This Olympic sports exhibition comes just a few months before the Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games, which will be hosted by the French capital, Paris, next summer.
The exhibition will feature photos and personal items of prominent athletes, as well as those who have participated in successive Olympics since 1896 to the present day. It will also include the history and profiles of Lebanese athletes who have competed in the Olympics and the medals they have won, alongside the attendance of some of them and their family members, who participated in recent years and decades. Additionally, photos of Lebanese athletes during the Olympics and the honors they received from the Lebanese state will be showcased.
Guests, including sports officials, journalists, current and former athletes, and their families, will tour the exhibition, which will remain in Jounieh until mid-May and will later move to other areas. In this regard, the French Center and "Sports Academy School" have invited interested parties and media representatives to attend the opening of the exhibition and visit it due to its significance in Olympic sports and its representation of Lebanon's Olympic participation history over many decades.
