Raoul Paoli
Raoul Paoli (24 November 1887 – 23 March 1960) was a French athlete, boxer, rower and actor. Aged 12, he served as a coxswain in the French coxed pair and won a bronze medal at the 1900 Summer Olympics. He competed in the shot put, his favourite event, at the 1912, 1920, 1924 and 1928 Summer Olympics with the best result of ninth place in 1924. In 1912 he also took part in the Greco-Roman wrestling contest and served as the Olympic flag bearer for France, and in 1928 he finished 29th in the discus throw.
Paoli was a French champion in boxing and rugby, with Stade Français. He played three international rugby games for the French national team in 1911–12 and scored one try. In the 1920s he was romantically involved with the fellow athlete Violette Morris. In 1933 he co-founded the French Professional Wrestling Association.

Royal Blue
by: Cold War KidsWhy I make that face? Oh why would I?
Why would I test my faith? Oh why would I?
Oh why? I see that raincloud coming right for me
Why would I say my name? Oh why would I?
When I'm so far away? Oh why would I?
Oh why? I guess I've always been a bit of a fighter
From now on wear my love for you loose
From now on I am just passing through
From now on trust my feeling is true
From now on call me Royal Blue
Why would I stick around? Oh why would I?
Why would I get burned down? Oh why would I?
Oh Why, For me I'm always waiting in shadows
Oh why, For me I'm always looking for a way out
From now on with the sky as my roof
From now on let the risk lead me to
From now on somewhere I never knew
From now on call me royal blue
From now on fly as high as I want
From now on I'll show my weak spot
From now on you know that I do
From now on call me Royal Blue
From now on wear my love for you loose
From now on I am just passing through
From now on trust my feeling is true
