The champion of champions! This Saturday, January 21, 2023, xavier became the third winner of the game of Cyril Feraud on France 2, The Champions Quiz. The former winner of 12 strokes of noon and of Questions for a champion succeeds Benjamin and Francis, who have both already been victorious at slam and Questions for a champion. During this prime, he notably overcame formidable competitors such as Enzo, Arthur or Marie-Christine. He confided in Tele-Leisure on his feelings about this victory.
“I could have done better the first time”
Tele-Leisure: You had a revenge to take after your quick elimination in your first Champions Quiz?
Javier: Yes, I wanted to do better than the first time. I left during the second round which has a very random side, you can get a very good score or miss it completely. I think the following rounds suited me well so I wanted to skip this stage to try them. In addition, I had been eliminated on a question of sport which is one of my favorite areas. I had made a really bad score on a fairly open theme. I was blocked, I got the title wrong. It was a fairly affordable theme and I could have done better.

Only champions of France 3 had won The Champions Quiz. Was it important to shine the image of the TF1 game?
Yes, there was also a bit of ego to defend The 12 strokes of noon. The first three times were winners of Questions for a champion and slam. Even though I also won the pot of Questions for a champion, I identify more with 12 strokes of noon and I’m glad we were able to win.
Did you expect to have to face Sébastien in the final?
I knew him and I knew he was very good and had an incredible journey in Questions for a champion and Everyone has a say. But there were also other very good candidates on the starting list. I think about Christophe in particular, I’m even surprised that he still hasn’t won of Champions Quiz given its immense level.
“I don’t like to stay on failures”
You have already won several game shows but failed to Questions for a super champion. Did you experience it as a failure?

No, not like a failure, but as a “half-failure” we’ll say. But if I have the opportunity to participate again, it would be to do better. I’m a competitor and I don’t like to stay on failures. I still had the opportunity to win one, which is not bad, but next time I intend to do better.
Do you have any other TV show plans in the future?
Not especially. I don’t think I do Everyone wants to take its place because it is the square directly in front of the 12 strokes of noon and I don’t see myself going to “the competition”. If I had to choose one, I would say Everyone has a say but this is not planned immediately. But you should never say never.
