For his first Paralympic Games and at 21 years old, Lucas Didier won silver, defeated by the Belgian and now triple Paralympic champion, Laurens Devos. Disappointment in judo: having come for the Gold, Hélios Latchoumanaya won silver in the -90 kg category (J2). Two bronze medals were won by Cyril Jonard (-90 kg, J1) and Jason Grandry (+90 kg, J1). Nacer Zorgani was beaten in the small final, in the +90 kg category (J2).

Great disappointment for Nantenin Keïta! For the very last race of her career, the flag bearer of the French delegation finished 6th in the 400m final (T13). Renaud Clerc finished 7th in the 1,500m final (T38), as did Badr Touzi in the shot put (F63). For her part, Sofia Pace finished 8th and last in the 400m final (T38).
