On the occasion of the J-100 of the Paralympic Games, which will take place in Paris from August 28 to September 8, Marie-Amélie Le Fur, president of the French Paralympic and Sports Committee (CPSF) and three-time Paralympic champion, and Pauline Déroulède, 18th world in wheelchair tennis, took part, Monday May 20, in a chat on franceinfo.fr. Expectations, objectives, fears, questions… Our journalists Pierre Godon and Clément Mariotti Pons asked them all your questions.
Your questions to Marie-Amélie Le Fur. Double Paralympic champion in Rio in 2016 (in the 400m and the length) after having already been titled in London in the 100m, Marie-Amélie Le Fur has long been one of the leading figures of the French Paralympic delegations. Quadruple world champion, she has a total of 26 podiums between the Games, the Worlds and the Euro. Since the end of 2018, Marie-Amélie Le Fur has become the spearhead of French parasport, being elected president of the French Paralympic and Sports Committee. A place that puts the former athlete, aged 35, at the forefront of the French delegation’s quest for medals in Paris this summer.
Your questions for Pauline Déroulède. Current 18th player in the world in wheelchair tennis, Pauline Déroulède is one of the new faces of French parasport. Very committed to the fight for road safety, the Parisian aspires to play leading roles, whether at Roland-Garros, where she reached the quarter-finals in 2023, or during the Paris Games.
