Sounkamba Sylla, a 26-year-old Muslim athlete from France, is expected to swap her headscarf for a cap to participate in the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympics due to France's strict secularism principle, known as "lacité".

  1. Amelie Oudea-Castera
    1. Our citizens expect us to follow these principles of secularism, but we also need to be inventive about solutions to make everyone feel good.

  2. David Lappartient
    International Olympic Committee
