Un aigle dans la nuit - Kung Fu World Championships (French Sports)
Wednesday Oct 22, 2025
Wednesday Oct 22, 2025
Pourquoi se réveiller à trois heures et demie du matin? Eh bien pour suivre un représentant de l'équipe de France de kung-fu aux championnats du monde en Chine. C'est important, surtout quand ce représentant fait partie de votre club et qu'il a déjà parlé sur les ondes du podcast.
Vous trouverez la réponse au choix du titre de cet épisode en l'écoutant.
Il sera aussi question de l'anthropologue Charles Stépanoff parce que j'ai vu un lien entre le kung-fu et son excellent livre que je viens de terminer.
Dans la lettre qui accompagne cet épisode, nous remarquerons toutes les différentes manières dont le temps est représenté dans cet épisode. Une excellente occasion d'élargir son vocabulaire du français de la vie de tous les jours grâce à de nombreux exemples.

Quelle histoire inspirante ! Félicitations à Alistair pour cette incroyable médaille d’argent aux championnats du monde de kung-fu en Chine ! L’Aigle de Courbevoie a fait honneur à son club et à la France. Quelle performance ! Et un immense bravo à Laetitia, la podcasteuse au talent magistral, pour avoir partagé ce moment d’émotion unique, vécu à $3h30$ du matin sur le canapé. C’est un récit poignant, plein de fierté et de belles réflexions sur le lien entre le sport et la nature. On se sent transporté sur le tapis ! À écouter absolument !
