New day of the Paralympic Games this Monday, September 2nd with several gold medals that have fallen.
The essentials
What a prolific day for the French delegation! The day began with the bronze medal of Lucas Mazur and Faustine Noël before the festival in para triathlon. Jules Ribstein opened the counter with the Paralympic title in the PTS2 category before Rigaudeau's silver medal in PTVI and Perel's bronze in the same category. Highly anticipated, Alexis Hanquinquant achieved a perfect race to be crowned in PTS4.
In boccia, Aurélie Aubert was crowned Paralympic champion by achieving a feat for the first medal in the history of boccia.
A little later in the evening, we will follow the singles finals of para badminton with Mazur and Noakes who can conclude a crazy day.

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 ranking of nations," recalls Marie-Amélie Le Fur. "[…] I was asked if this wasn't a discounted ambition compared to the Olympic top 5. But we had so much lost in performance, we've 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.
