SERIES. The Paris 2024 Paralympic Games logbook – episode 6: growing enthusiasm

What is the daily life of a Paralympic athlete? How is he preparing for an event like the Paris 2024 Games? Is it possible to do change the way we look at disability through such an event? These questions – and many others – led the editorial staff of franceinfo: sport to propose a format in which the floor would return directly to French athletes who are aiming for the Paralympic Games.

For the sixth episode of this monthly logbook, Gwendoline Matos (goalball) and Thibaut Rigaudeau (paratriathlon) talk about their daily lives and the excitement that is growing around the upcoming Games in the capital.

“The requests have been increasing in recent weeks.”

Everything is fine. I’ve been to Finland and Japan since the last time for training camps, it was really fun! In Finland, we did 3-4 days of training between us with a lot of technique. It’s a nation against which we have always had a little difficulty in competition, even if we are quite close in terms of play.
