We see the comedian in a first video with weightlifter Axel Bourlon. “In the meantime, my “little arms” lift 180 kg”says the para-athlete after a joke from the comedian.

“Don't you have a way to bring people back to the Porte de la Chapelle (the venue for the weightlifting competition) ?”, Axel Bourlon asks him. “Explain “There's a 55kg guy lifting 180kg, I already want to see that”, Artus replies. The director concludes by announcing that he will be present on September 4 for the para-athlete competition.

In another video, we see Artus with another para-athlete, this time in archery, Guillaume Toucoullet. “I will need you to bring people to the Paralympic Games in Paris, you don't have two, three pipes", asks the archer. "What's your little extra something ?", asks the comedian from Montpellier. "I shoot a bow with my mouth", replies Guillaume Toucoullet, paralyzed in the left arm following a motorcycle accident.
