HCMC : AUDACITY! Surya Bonaly in Conversation

What if audacity could redefine the limits of what’s possible?

As part of the “Let’s Go! - Exploring Impossible Territories” 2026 series, the Institut français du Vietnam and the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Vietnam, with the support of Decathlon, invite you to an exceptional conversation with Surya Bonaly, an iconic figure in figure skating whose career has left a lasting mark on the sport through her boldness and pioneering spirit.

This event offers a lively and interactive discussion centered on a key question: boldness.
How do we dare when everything seems impossible?
What is the personal and symbolic cost for those who choose to challenge the rules?
And how can we pass on this ability to take risks to future generations, even in constrained environments?

Through her extraordinary journey, Surya Bonaly will reflect on the defining moments of her career alongside Pavla Singh Zezulková, currently Footwear Process Leader at Decathlon Production Vietnam and a former professional skater for over 15 years. Together, they will revisit a path that defied conventions and redefined the limits of what is possible. The conversation will be enriched by archival footage, offering an engaging, accessible, and inspiring format.

This event is part of an ongoing dialogue space dedicated to major contemporary issues and to those who are shaping responses to them.

An evening of exchange and inspiration to dare tomorrow.
