The one who wore the incredible golden costume of the masked Amazon is Floriane Issert, the Gendarmerie officer. She appeared on horseback from the Pont d’Iéna to the Place du Trocadéro, carrying the Olympic flag.
Sortira Paris, a news-specialized media outlet, reported that the gendarme was responsible for this part of the ceremony. Not much is known about her, as she is not a public figure but a member of the French forces.
