How does French open up an entire world of sporting events to enthusiasts?
French is always an official language used to announce events, winners, and medals at the Olympic Games, including the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta. If you live near the Quebec border, you can also follow hockey and baseball games in French. Automobile races (Le Mans and Monte Carlo), horse racing (Longchamps), tennis tournaments (French Open), and the Tour de France (long distance bicycle race) engage fans around the globe. When you know French, the international world of sports is open to you.
