🏀 One year ago, Steph Curry broke my heart in the City of Light🥹

France was 3pts behind Team USA with 3 mins left in the #Paris2024 Olympic final.

Then Curry unfurled a series of 3⃣pt shots that put to bed French hopes for a victory on home soil

Super @MaximeAubin1 story on one of the #NBA's original francophones, #Celtics legend Bob Cousy. Great insights into the transatlantic ties, including the Cousy-Busnel connection.

Les jeux de @Paris2024 sont déjà derrière nous & les drapeaux ont été remis à la ville de Los Angeles.
L'occasion de mettre en valeur la coopération sportive franco-américaine : cet été, plus de 500 athlètes de la @TeamUSA se sont entrainés au Centre international de haute performance sportive @Athletica_95 à Eaubonne dans le cadre des Jeux de #Paris2024.

Un partenariat dont l’héritage se ressent déjà dans le Val d’Oise, tant au niveau sociétal qu’éducatif et qui s’inscrit dans la durée avec l’envoi de volontaires de la région aux Jeux de @LA28 🇺🇸

A quick note on the #sportsdiplomacy of @FlavorFlav 👉 not only did he help communicate, represent, negotiate about @USAWP at #Paris2024 (and empowered the team to do it too via bigger platforms), helping to write new @FranceAndUS chapters, he’s engaging in it post-Games too 🎩

I’m very much enjoying @heroesandhumans and cannot wait to give this latest one a listen….though I’ll be singing the N’Golo Kanté song 🎶 for the rest of the day

When the IOC granted host duties to Paris and LA in 2017, it mandated an intertwined legacy in new ways. We’re seeing that now as #Phyrge made the transatlantic flight from @Paris2024 👉 @la28 ✈️ continuing the #FranceAndUS #sportsdiplomacy 😉

When will we get a Phyrge emoji?

[Consulate of France in Los Angeles @FranceinLA]

Who's ready to welcome a new LA resident? 🙋‍♂️🙋🏾‍♀️ #Phryge landed in LA to spread some Olympic cheer and get us pumped for 2028! Thank you @LA28 for taking Phryge under your wing!

From Lafayette to Wemby and far beyond the hardcourt, 🇫🇷🇺🇸 ties run deep👇

“The spirit of Lafayette reminds us…[democracy] can never be taken for granted; it is a victory won through constant struggle and perseverance.”

After a magical #Paris2024 we’re #NextUpLA28. Note how the 🇫🇷 🇺🇸 flags are both part of the present branding for #LA28 ? There’s a reason for that… and a history that by 2028 will be 250 years old.
