In June 2024 just one month ahead of the Paris Olympic Games Edgar Boulet announced his retirement from the sport of artistic gymnastics. He was best known for his incredibly exciting performances of the High bar which earned him the nickname "the showman" and in 2017 he competed in the European final. In 2018 alongside his four team mates, France took the bronze team medal at the European championships in Glasgow behind Russia and Great Britain. The French team have struggled in recent years and failed to qualify a mens team for their home Olympic Games this summer after finishing 19th at the World championships in 2023. Gymnastics is a big sport in France and they have a successful league but their national team structure is potentially restricting their ability to keep athletes in the sport. However their junior team recently won silver at the European championships and Edgar shares his hopes for the future of French gymnastics. And this is his story.
