Interview of French medallists before their reception by G Pompidou

The French athletes who won medals at the Tokyo Olympic Games were invited to a reception by Prime Minister Georges Pompidou. Interview of some of them upon their arrival in the court of Matignon. The swimmer Chrisine CARON, silver medal, evokes the resumption of the school and the suppression of certain classes when she resumes training. Maryvonne DUPUREUR, silver medal of the 800m race, talks about the warm welcome received in Lille. Cavalier Pierre JONQUERES d'ORIOLA, a gold medal in jumping, recalls his brief visit to Perpignan before leaving for Paris. Concerning this second gold medal (the first in Helsinki): "this is the only gold medal that was won by France so it produces more effect than when there are a few others".
