On October 8, the documentary “Un1que” will be released on Canal+, which traces the crazy rise of Victor Wembanyama. For the preview, the French phenomenon answered a few questions yesterday, particularly around the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Victor assures him, he will be there!
We know that Victor Wembanyama has big ambitions for the French team. Just before his selection as first choice in the last Draft, Wemby declared that he wanted to make France “the greatest basketball nation in the world”, and that obviously means winning titles in major international competitions.
The next one is obviously the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. A competition that Victor Wembanyama does not want to miss and where he sees the Blues rising high, very high.
“Succeeding in the Olympics would be a great story. And there will be no goal other than gold. I will of course be present at the Olympics” declared Victor (via The Team). “I watched the World Cup and the result was very disappointing. However, I am not worried. I have no judgment to make, I was not in the team and it is in the hands of top level players. I feel that this does not alter the opportunity to do something big in Paris next year.”
Like us, Victor Wembanyama watched helplessly as the Blues wallowed in the first round of the World Cup. World Cup on which Wemby had decided to skip following the madness surrounding his selection in the 2023 Draft. A rather logical decision before his entry into the NBA. But next year, following a first season of adaptation in the United States, Victor will be physically and mentally ready to defend the colors of the French team.
“It was the first time in my life that I felt tired in my head, because of all the events that happened. Nothing negative. But the vacation, following the Summer League, was a necessity to continue calmly on a mental level. I took the time to isolate myself. This is the first time I have appeared in the media in three months. It made me feel good.”
