Arthur Bauchet is the man of these Paralympic Games for the French team. With a third gold medal acquired this Sunday, March 13 during the last day of the Games, the French enters the legend and changes dimension. “I totally changed my status during these Games. But these Games also show how much the performances of Marie (Bochet) were superhuman. With three golds, I feel like I gave so much; Marie with her four golds, on two different Paralympiads, it’s crazy!” He said at a press conference.
