Sasha Zhoya, France’s main medal hope in athletics, will be able to wear a skirt at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. In the France 2 documentary “Au coeur des jeux”, the hurdler said he will wear a skirt on Friday, July 26, writes lefigaro.fr.

“If women are allowed to wear trousers, it would be nice if men were allowed to wear skirts. In 2024, we can wear anything! There is no longer any gender distinction in fashion,” he said.

He obtained permission to wear a skirt instead of trousers, according to reports in Le Parisien and L’Équipe. World and European U23 champion in the 110m hurdles, the Frenchman is aiming for a medal at the Stade de France.
