Frenchman Mathieu Bosredon, in gold, and his compatriot Johan Quaile, in silver, concluded a crazy day for French paracycling by achieving a double in the H3 category time trial on Wednesday, September 4 in Clichy-sous-Bois.

Mahtieu Bosredon, 33, flew over the 28.3 km of this time trial in the H3 category, reserved for paraplegic athletes without voluntary mobility of the trunk. As for him, he is paralyzed in the lower limbs, with damage to the abdominal belt since the age of four. The Corrézien operates his pedals using his upper arms, chest and shoulders.

A few minutes After a first double achieved by the Blues thanks to Kévin Le Cunff and Gatien Le Rousseau in the C4 category, the French repeated the performance since Johan Quaile took second place, 2 minutes behind his compatriot.

Objective 20 medals

The Franc-Comtois had not experienced international podiums before 2023, and climbs onto the second step of the podium in his first participation in the Paralympic Games, at 32 years old.

The French paracycling delegation now has seven gold medals and as many silver. With a total of 18 trinkets, the minimum objective of 20 medals set by the Blues staff now seems like a formality.
