The fight against the tiger mosquito in France

It is often said that they are the eyes of blind athletes. In athletics, guides are literally at their side to guide them and give them instructions. A role that goes beyond the sporting aspect because on a daily basis, trust must be extreme between the athlete and his guide. Thomas Verro is a coach, but also the long jump guide of athlete Delya Boulaghlem.

French Paralympic athlete Delya Boulaghlem, competing in sprint and long jump, takes part in a training session with her coach and guide Thomas Verro for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games on May 7, 2024 in Lyon.
