Cecile Landi discusses her Olympic journey as coach and athlete
Cecile Landi made her feelings known towards her Olympic journey, as both a coach and athlete.
Landi is a renowned gymnastics coach and is the co-head coach of the Georgia GymDogs alongside Ryan Roberts. Landi also represented France in elite gymnastics at multiple international tournaments.
Landi, in interview on the Flipping Out with Bridget Sloan podcast, discussed her Olympic journey, including coaching at Paris 2024. The French coach said she felt more pride when her athletes did well, rather than when she competed. (2:16 onwards)
"I mean this summer was pretty incredible, not only was it in Paris, that's where I was born, my family was there so it was kind of full circle, and going back there, I don't know, I just feel more pride when my athletes do better than when I did it myself. It was really emotional to see them especially after Tokyo, we all know how it went. To be able to go there and do what they worked so hard for and to get that gold was just amazing."
Landi also added that her daughter, Juliette Landi, also competed at the Paris Olympics.
"And we had our daughter competing in diving in Paris so it was pretty surreal, to be all three of us in the village and meeting for lunch or dinner at the cafeteria and see her compete it was just unbelievable yeah." - Cecile Landi
Cecile is married to former gymnast and coach Laurent Landi, who together with Cecile, coached Simone Biles and other elite athletes at the World Champions Centre in Texas.
