Miss Africa made a huge achievement, winning an Olympic medal

Before becoming the first taekwondo fighter to represent Lesotho at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, Michelle Tau was crowned "Miss Face of Lesotho".

If we talk about the most talented athlete at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Michelle Tau will be mentioned first.

In 2017, Michelle Tau participated in the Miss Lesotho pageant and she won. After that, she represented the country in an international beauty contest in India. At that time, Michelle Tau was only 20 years old and before her eyes was a road full of roses. With the position of the most beautiful woman in the country, Michelle Tau can participate in showbiz, can find business opportunities to change her life.

But despite reaching glory, Michelle Tau still sticks to the sport that is in her blood: Taekwondo. This girl born in 1997 comes from a family rich in Taekwondo tradition. She inherited her talent and passion from her father, Mr. John Molise Tau. This is a legendary Taekwondo of Lesotho.

But she was not taught much by her father because when Michelle Tau was young, her father passed away. However, he still managed to give inspiration and talent to his young daughter. "The fact that I pursued a modeling career and then taekwondo confused many people," the 27-year-old athlete said.

Besides, her father John Pau's massive medal collection further encouraged Michelle to follow her father's path.

And since then, this girl has determined to pursue a top career. Thanks to her constant efforts, she gradually rose to become the number one Taekwondo athlete in the southern African country. She won 2 bronze medals at the African Taekwondo Championship and 1 bronze medal at the African Games.

In the recent qualifying campaign, Michelle Tau excelled in overcoming many opponents to win a ticket to the 2024 Paris Olympics in the weight category under 49 kg. When she arrived in Paris, she confidently declared that she could become the first Lesotho athlete to win a medal at the Olympics.

"This is something no one has ever done, but I'm challenging myself to do this, I'm dedicated and determined to do the best I can," she said. "I'm a very soft person. I'm very shy. But when I get in the ring, I go into beast mode."

Regarding the event, recently, the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics took place.

Lady Gaga and Céline Dion had impressive performances here. Previously, French media reported that the two artists would duet La Vie En Rose, but this did not happen. Instead, each person has a solo stage.

The opening ceremony began with a performance of Lady Gaga's song Mon Truc En Plumes on the steps along the Seine River. This song was originally sung by French ballerina and musician Zizi Jeanmaire in the 1960s.

The singer's stage was set up with 10 dancers and 17 accompaniment musicians with a black-pink theme combined with large feather fans. All wore outfits from House of Dior, a company owned by a major Olympic sponsor. The singer was praised for his fluency in French.

"Even though I'm not French, I've always felt a special connection to the French people, to French music. I wanted to create a performance that celebrates French music and art. And on a special occasion. like that, reminding everyone of one of the most magical cities on earth - Paris" - the singer shared

.

At the foot of the Eiffel Tower, diva Céline Dion stepped onto the stage after the torch lighting ceremony for an emotional cover of Hymne à l'amour, bringing NBC announcers and the audience to tears.

The moment marked the diva's first time on stage since being diagnosed with "stiff person syndrome," a chronic neurological disorder that causes muscle stiffness and intense spasms. This condition affects the singer's ability to sing, as the disease affects the vocal cords.
