From an improbable buzz in 2017 to the opportunity to become an Olympic flame bearer for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Here is the trajectory of Baptiste Moirot (29 years old), after a video posted on (formerly Twitter) of the organization of the Olympic Games making the news official on Wednesday.
“We are also very clean. From a spark in his teenage bedroom to becoming one of the torchbearers for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Welcome to the Baptiste adventure! », Explains the message from the Games Organizing Committee (Cojo).
“But yes, I am very clear”
Seven years ago, Baptiste Moirot made himself known by posting a video that went viral on the Internet. We saw this young Frenchman having fun in his room with a fire in the middle of the night, and greatly worrying his family. His mother intervened in this video: “But it’s not okay Baptiste, but what are you doing? But you’re not clear! »
To which the young man replied calmly: “But yes, I am very clear. » A reply that then became cult on social networks, and which therefore inspired Cojo when targeting Olympic flame bearers. And as in 2017, Baptiste Moirot is enjoying lightning success on the web, since his Olympic video on X has already had more than 8 million views since its publication on Wednesday evening.
