According to a reliable source, Nathalie Péchalat is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2024. But while the athlete's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.

Why not Péchalat for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 40-year-old athlete, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Péchalat so important is the potential and influence she now has, rather than anything she has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the athlete have already been named ‘French Of The Year’ by some major French newspapers and even ‘Rouen Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Rouen (Nathalie Péchalat's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the athlete was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Nathalie Péchalat Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 23 Nov 2024
“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveNathalie”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 23 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Nathalie Péchalat?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 23 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Nathalie Péchalat?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2024?
