The world is getting ready for the Olympic Games in Paris coming very soon, as well as the Paralympic Games. Omega is the Official Timekeeper for both so to celebrate their partnership, to celebrate the host city Paris, and to celebrate the amazing athletes at the Games, the brand has brought all of the above together into this incredible piece of film …

So inspiring! Love the cinematography, visual eye-candy, treatment of Paris, and of course the celebration of the athletes which is what the Games are all about after all! Here are the athletes highlighted:

  • Swimming: Léon Marchand

  • Sprinting: Erriyon Knighton

  • Golf: Céline Boutier

  • Decathlon: Simon Ehammer

  • High Jump: Gianmarco Tamberi

  • Table Tennis: Ma Long

  • Climbing: Micka Mawem

  • Sailing: Pete Burling & Blair Tuke

  • Pole Vault: Mondo Duplantis

  • Sprinting: Shericka Jackson

  • Wheelchair Racing: Marcel

  • Hug Wheelchair Fencing: Bebe Vio

Wow, what a list! Inspiring indeed, at the risk of repeating myself!

What do I love most about this? These Games are always a way to celebrate athletic accomplishments and also a way to celebrate the host city. This film from Omega does both so beautifully, perhaps amongst the best I’ve ever seen!

Thank you Omega, and thank you to all the athletes for your inspiring commitment.
