Paris mayor honors Ukrainian athletes with Grand Vermeil Medal
Reuters Videos1 hour agoSTORY: ::August 1, 2024 ::Two Ukrainian athletes receive Paris' highest honor, the Grand Vermeil Medal ::Anne Hidalgo/Paris mayor “I bestow upon you, in front of your peers, in the name of all Ukrainian athletes, the medal of the city of Paris, the Grand Vermeil of the city of Paris, the highest distinction that the city - the city of liberty, of human rights, a city committed to stand beside you - could award you with pride. With much love, I award you this medal, Anastasiya.” “The Grand Vermeil medal of the city of Paris, for you, our Ukrainian hero athletes, who are participating in the Olympic Games in Paris, and who are making history. Thank you.” ::Paris, France Anastasiya Kozhenkova/Ukrainian Olympic rower “When there is a war, I know that there are many athletes who do not compete, and how many athletes have died? And the fact that we are competing here now, trying to fight for everyone, amidst what is happening now in the country, what kind of emotions do we feel? Honestly, I think we are already winners.” Hidalgo has been a vocal supporter of Ukraine in its 29-month-old conflict with Russia, having visited Kyiv and voiced her opposition to the participation of Russian athletes in the Paris Games. About 15 Ukrainian athletes attended the medal ceremony at the Paris City Hall on Thursday, at the grand Salon des Arcades hall of the neo-Renaissance building. Ukraine sent 140 athletes to the Olympics, and the team have so far won a silver and a bronze medal, in shooting and fencing respectively.

I know, I know, I know. I know that I'm going to be like her one day. I know it." :: Biles won the all-around title, a comeback after withdrawing from the same final in Tokyo :: "Oh, my gosh. She's amazing. She's so inspirational. We love her with all of our hearts. She inspires all of us in the USA. I love her. This is why I came to the Olympics. To see Simone Biles, and I got to see her." :: "Probably one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I literally loved it, and like, I feel like you'll never see something like that again. Especially Simone and Suni (Lee) both winning all-around at the same time was probably like one of the most amazing and one of a kind experiences of my life." In a tight race between Biles and Brazil's Rebeca Andrade, the 27-year-old was surprisingly left trailing in third place after a flawed performance on the uneven bars during the second rotation. But if Andrade had started to fantasize about becoming the first Brazilian to win the Olympic event which requires female gymnasts to excel on all four apparatus, Biles brought her back to reality just 30 minutes later as she was back on top of the standings following a solid showing on the balance beam. Biles was being watched by the likes of Kendall Jenner, basketball players Steph Curry and Kevin Durant, as well as French soccer legend Zinedine Zidane. "She is my influencer...I know that I'm going to be like her one day," said 9-year-old Talia Grey from Nottingham, England. "She inspires all of us in the USA," said Marcia Anderson, a 45-year-old fan from Miami, Florida. Audrey Spitzer, 16, from Colorado said it was "probably one of the most amazing experiences" of her life watching Biles win.3 hours ago
