RTL is set to debut a new sports quiz show titled 'Les sportifs du dimanche' on June 15, 2025, at 8 PM. Hosted by Alex Vizorek and sports journalist Carine Galli, this special installment will momentarily replace the regular 'RTL Foot' program, typically hosted by Éric Silvestro.
The format of 'Les sportifs du dimanche' involves two teams of three celebrities competing in sports-themed quizzes and challenges. The show, which aims to bring humor and a vibrant atmosphere, is inspired by the British quiz show 'A Question of Sport,' known for its long run from 1970 to 2023. In the inaugural episode, tennis star Henri Leconte, fencer Brice Guyart, and basketball player Yannick Souvré will go up against figure skater Nathalie Péchalat, boxer Brahim Asloum, and rugby player Philippe Bernat-Salles. Additionally, viewers can look forward to a surprise guest athlete making an appearance.
An exclusive preview of the show highlights its light-hearted tone, with Vizorek humorously referring to a past interview with former French president Jacques Chirac. If the audience reception is strong, RTL may consider making 'Les sportifs du dimanche' a regular part of their programming lineup.
