Like a bullet
Timothée Adolphe wanted to “send a message” to his opponents. And he did. The para-athlete set the best time in the 400-meter semi-finals and qualified for the final. See you tomorrow for another lap.

From Praud’s work.
Nobody expected him to have such a party. For his first Paralympic Games, Antoine Praud won a magnificent bronze medal thanks to an already legendary comeback. Marc Raquil appreciates it.

The hairs
Great emotion for Dorian Foulon, crowned Paralympic champion in pursuit. 4 years after his first coronation in Tokyo. The Breton signs a magnificent double.

Straight to the point
Great performance by Alexis Sanchez. Namesake of the former Chilean striker of OM, the rower chose the offensive solution by finishing 2nd in his series of skiff repechages. He will compete in the final tomorrow!
