In a year, their story could be one of the most beautiful of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. But, in the meantime, we must first validate their qualification. This Saturday morning, Thibaut Rigaudeau and Héloïse Courvoisier will certainly have a small lump in their stomachs. Couple in the city, these two athletes dream of a podium, in a year, right here in the capital. A city they know by heart since they live there. Licensed to the Racing Multi Athlon de Paris, this 32 and 26-year-old couple competes in the PTVI category, the one reserved for the visually impaired. Héloïse is visually impaired and her companion suffers from a genetic disease, retinitis pigmentosa.
