Winter Olympics: celebrating the spirit of sport beyond performance

The Winter Olympics are opening in Milan today, and we wanted to talk about sport in a different way. Experienced sport. Dream sport. Sport that's a little crazy.

Because one of our employees has just shared a film that touched us.
It's by Valentin Cazaux, a composites engineer at Compositadour, our technology platform, who grew up at the foot of the Pic du Midi de Bigorre.

When you grow up with a mountain like that in front of you, certain ideas end up germinating.
His idea? To ski the four faces of the Pic. That's all he wanted to do. Not for the medal. Not for the time.
But to follow a dream, to confront the mountain, to prove - perhaps - that it was possible.

On this opening day of the Olympics, this film reminds us why sport touches us so much:
For the stories it tells, for the journeys it reveals and for the passions that never really leave us.

Take a few minutes to watch this film and let yourself be transported to the Pic du Midi de Bigorre.
