Games open Friday with Algerian promises
Paris 2024 Olympics
“Based on a rich cultural heritage and traditions rooted in history, the Algerian stand was particularly lively. From traditional Algerian dishes to music exported internationally to craft exhibitions, the Algeria pavilion marked its participation,” reports an Algerian media outlet. This augurs a typically Algerian atmosphere to guarantee a strong tone of support for Algerian athletes during this Paris 2024 edition.
A participation that will be further supported this Thursday during “the day dedicated to Algeria” and which will be the occasion to appreciate the greatest hits of Chaba Zahouania, Raina Rai, RimK, Amzik, Diwan de Béchar, Kamel El Harrachi… This 100% Algerian musical evening will take place from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m.
“Taking advantage of modern techniques”
Algerian athletes on a mission to win. The objective(s) will be completed this Saturday to participate in the 33rd edition of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, and will have to revive on the tables of disciplines relating to the good health of the country’s sport, as other professionals will do during competitions. “Our athletes need to benefit from and take advantage of the evolution of modern techniques… Our athletes must participate in competitions to measure themselves against others and see the differences for themselves and that is how they will improve their times,” the former president of the COA (1998/2000) told us.
Dates, medals and references
A first that should be different from the 14 previous participations, we still remember this assessment of the Mediterranean games which was the sacred reference of Algerian athletics, which made 28 of the gold medals bite followed by boxing with 17 medals. Among the other competitions, we will follow in athletics Djamel Sedjati (800 m), Slimane Moula (800 m), Mohamed Taher Yasser Triki (triple jump). Rowing: Sid Ali Boudina (lightweight single scull), Nihad Benchadli (heavyweight single scull). Canoeing-kayaking: Caroll Bouzidi (kayak slalom). Cycling: Nesrine Houili, Yacine Hamza. For the representatives of the Algerian nation, will be accompanied during the competitions by the largest Algerian diaspora internationally, Paris would be conquered for the cause of Algerian athletes during these Olympic Games.
The Greens who are already motivated
As one media outlet was keen to point out, they will not have time to feel disoriented. Algerian colours are everywhere with support from the Algerian song repertoire and this great audience made up of students, workers and others, the Algerian women’s boxing champion, Imane Khelif, invited members of the national community to “come and support the 45 Algerian athletes during their Olympic events” who informed the delegation that he will be present on all the fields, where the Algerian will be there to push them to achieve records and why not beat their own record. Nothing will be able to weaken the greens who are already motivated to achieve scores to shine during this world sports ball.
“The expected harvest will impact the future of the leaders
of federations»
This meeting, which already has many spotlights focused on the nationals, demonstrates that this 33rd edition is a very important turning point for Algerian sport since it represents for all the technical staff 4 years of work, planning, reflection, communication and analysis for the athletes, who want and say “We will go to Paris, to erase the failures of the past and return with another coat that of professionals, proud to have defended the Algerian colors. This means that the hoped-for harvest will impact the future of the leaders of federations and also of the coaches”. “The Olympic Games are the moment of truth that all the actors dread”.
In summary
The work of the COA will have thus accomplished its mission, succeeding in imposing results on the field of the Olympic Games which will serve as a working basis for all disciplines. These Olympic Games the hopes rest on Djamel Sedjati (800 m), Slimane Moula (800 m), Mohamed Taher Yasser Triki (triple jump), Mohamed Ali Gouaned (800 m)… Boxing with 5 athletes can earn us medals, especially with Imane Khellif. Judo which once gave great satisfaction, continues its crossing of the desert. The discipline will be represented by only 3 athletes.
Finally, there is the one for whom the media and Algerians are passionate, Kaylia Nemour, this young and dynamic 17-year-old Franco-Algerian gymnast, the meteoric rise of the gymnast, rewarded with multiple global successes (a silver medal at the world championships, a gold medal at the African championships and four other gold medals in the world cup).
