After only two months of education in Mexico, little Salma Hayek, then 9 years old, was called up through the women’s national team to participate in the Olympic Games. But her father refuses, fearing that she will forget her studies and family life. “My Olympic dream died that day,” he explains.

Years later, after a wonderful career in film, the Veracruz native revived this dream thanks to the Olympic Torch Relay. But a connection to the game is not enough to receive this honor. As the Olympic Games official broadcasts, “the torchbearers constitute the exceptional diversity of our society: women and men, national and local public figures, as well as citizens elected by the public, in addition to other people with disabilities. ” Furthermore, elected officials are accompanied by leaders who “innovate, create and include French excellence. “
Salma Hayek walked alongside other personalities such as the actor from the HBO series House of the Dragon, Steve Toussaint, the soccer player Presnel Kimpembe, and many others. The Olympic flame will be lit in Paris today, Friday, July 26, 2024.
