Eighteen events from the Paralympic Games, thirty from the Olympic Games, the opening and closing ceremonies, followed by fireworks throughout France… Sébastien is following Paris 2024 with great enthusiasm. “It exceeded all my expectations. » A young man from Reunion Island has gone to Paras. “To be in advance with the Olympic Games, I took all my vacation [pour les suivre]. »
Since 2018, this SNCF traffic agent has been saving to go to the Games, which costs 10,000 euros. The places he took last year “doubled or tripled”, so that his mother Nathalie will follow him. Sébastien smiled, “It is important to me that you accompany me in this historical and global moment, especially since he has never traveled outside of Reunion Island.” Nathalie admits: “In the beginning, I was a little embarrassed that my son bought so many tickets, but in the end I enjoyed it. »
Invest in others, you think about it
Described as “generous” and “curious about everything”, what inspires the Paralympics is “how athletes do themselves, don’t give up until the last meter.” It shows incredible power. “
Anyone who hasn’t been a “sports fan” doesn’t do their research before events. Wanting to “keep the surprise”, the Reunionese “want to discover the rules and the athletes when they arrive”. “Wheelchair basketball is the event I’m looking forward to the most,” he declared. During the Paralympic world, you have the opportunity to discover other sporting activities such as “blind football in Bobigny and cycling in Châlons-en-Champagne”.
