The goal for these 2024 Paralympic Games is quite high for the French delegation, which hopes to break all records as for the Olympic Games. “The goal is mainly gold medals, because that’s what counts most in the table of nations,” recalls Marie-Amélie Le Fur.[…] I was asked if this was not a discounted ambition compared to the Olympic top 5. But we had so neglected performance, we have come a long way. We were 14th in Tokyo; aiming for the top 8 means doubling the number of gold medals, so a real ambition” said Marie-Amélie Le Fur, president of the French Paralympic Committee. As a reminder, in 2021, the French Paralympic delegation won 54 medals, including eleven Olympic titles.
