We open this special edition with the children's Olympic dream. In Dakar, this dream becomes reality for an entire generation: 200,000 tickets are provided for schools and associations to allow young people to attend the events free of charge. Awa Diouf went to a school in the Dakar suburbs.

Behind this Olympic story, there are above all young athletes who dream of writing their own: athletes who have been training for years, often far from the spotlight, with the hope of representing their country on the international stage. This is the case of Abdellatif Ladimat. At 17, he will defend the colors of Morocco in taekwondo. Portrait signed Christelle Leroux and Théo Renaud.

In Dakar, other athletes already have astonishing stories and unique journeys. Sarah Sakho presents two remarkable profiles of the Senegalese delegation: the young swimmer Naël Lamine Voisin (16 years old), and the gymnast Mamadou Sow known as "Ron" (15 years old), a former street child welcomed by the Village Pilote association.

In Paris, in 2024, Kenya finished at the top of the African nations with eleven medals, including four gold. In Dakar, a new generation of sportswomen is asserting its ambitions, particularly in the ring, where the boxers intend to make their country shine. Report by Bastien Renouil.
