20 Minutes gives the floor to a sportsman concerned by the postponement of the Tokyo Games, which were to be held this summer. They told here, there, or even there. From this series was born the episode of the Minute Papillon podcast! that you're going to listen to, in the audio player below.
Because of the covid-19 pandemic, the Tokyo Paralympic Games, like the Olympic Games, have been postponed to the summer of 2021. A postponement which has a big impact, to put it mildly, all top athletes. And in particular that of Marie-Amélie Le Fur, a great figure in disabled sports in France and president of the French Paralympic and Sports Committee (CPSF).
This specialist in length was a triple Paralympic champion (100m in London, then 400m and length in Rio), quadruple world champion.
While she had planned to end her career after the Summer Olympics, she decided, after reflection, to continue for a year this hectic life, between intensive sport, presidency of the CPSF, family life with a toddler, all in a difficult economic context.
Maintaining the objective of the Games, how is it going? She tells it to the journalist Nicolas Camus.
