"[…] I was asked if this was not a discounted ambition compared to the Olympic top 5. But we had so much deserted the performance, we came back from far. We were 14th in Tokyo; aiming for the top 8 means doubling the number of gold medals, so a real ambition,'' launched 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.
