The objective for these 2024 Paralympic Games is quite high for the French delegation, which hopes to break all records as for the Olympic Games. "The objective is mainly gold medals, because that is what counts most in the ranking of nations," recalls Marie-Am&eacutelie Le Fur. "[…] 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-Am&eacutelie Le Fur, president of the French Paralympic Committee. As a reminder, in 2021, the French Paralympic delegation won 54 medals, including eleven Olympic titles.
