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 objective is mainly due to the& “golden dailles, because that's what counts most in the league table of nations,” recalls Marie-Amélie Le Fur. “[.. .] I was asked if this was not a discounted ambition compared to the Olympic top 5. But we had so deserted the 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,” he said. ;nbsp;Marie-Amélie Le Fur, president of the French Paralympic Committee. As a reminder, in 2021, the French Paralympic delegation had ;eacute;caught 54 trinkets, including eleven Olympic titles.
