A moment of emotion was shared with the interview of Julie Gautier, guest of honor of the evening, French apnea record woman, director and dancer, who produced and interpreted a video dedicated to pain. "A deep pain that I have proven in my life - she said during her interview with Valentina Colman, Secretary General of the Award - and that I wanted to share with other women". AMA, which is also visible on Youtube (https://youtu.be/bdBuDg7mrT8), is an apnea dance of great delicacy and emotion.

During the cocktail, the public was surprised by a highly applauded performance by the Femina Sport acrobatic team formed by Kimberly Arnulf.
