Le Comité Départemental Olympique et Sportif de Seine-et-Marne (CDOS 77) est heureux de vous présenter, en ce début d’année 2015, son guide « 100% bleu ». Lancé en 2011, ce document réunit tous les seine et marnais sélectionnés en Equipe de France, soit pour les Championnats d’Europe ou du Monde, soit pour les variantes des Jeux Olympiques (comme les Jeux Méditerranéens, Jeux Mondiaux ou Jeux de la Francophonie). Notre objectif est simple : valoriser tous ceux qui ont porté haut les couleurs du 77, afin de mieux les connaître et de mieux les « supporter ». Dans ce « 100% bleu », les champions sont présentés ville par ville, avec des zooms sur les athlètes susceptibles d’être sélectionnés pour les prochains Jeux Olympiques 2016 (reconnaissable avec ce logo ). Par ailleurs un autre visuel permet d’identifier les athlètes qui ont reçu le Trophée de l’Espoir, récompense qui va fêter en 2015 son quart de siècle. Nous adressons nos félicitations aux champions, à leurs clubs, à leurs villes ainsi que nos encouragements pour 2015.
