With his irresistible smile, the athlete participated in a session of “checks” before indulging in the question-and-answer game, carefully meditated by pitchouns who missed not a crumb of his exploits in China. “Do you feel any pain?”; “Why are you smiling all the time?”;“Do you stress before a race?”; “What do you do when you’re afraid you won’t make it?”.
Arthur Bauchet never shied away from questions, reminding them that it was the sport that gave it “save life” and that he “Don’t give up when it comes to chasing your dreams”.
