Arthur Cadre is an extremely flexible man, both physically and in his range of talents – breakdancer, acrobat, architect and much more – and he will play a central role in the Paris Olympics closing ceremony Sunday.

The 32-year-old has sport in the blood, born to a mother who was part of the French volleyball team and a father who competed in the 1988 Seoul Olympics in windsurfing.
