Guest on the show’s set What Gamesbroadcast on France 2, Lucas Mazur, gold medalist in badminton at the Paris Paralympic Games, lost patience following a joke made by comedian Paul de Saint Sernin.
For now, at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, France is shining with a total of 39 medalsincluding 11 gold, 13 silver and 15 bronze. This performance allows the French delegation to ranked fifth in the medal tablebehind countries such as China, Great Britain, and the United States. These Games, held in the capital, are marked by strong moments for the French team, particularly in parabadminton, athletics and swimming.
One of the great moments of glory came from Lucas Mazur, who won a gold medal in the parabadminton singles event on Monday, September 2, confirming his undisputed talent in his discipline. The 26-year-old, who had already won bronze in mixed doubles a few days earlier, won over the French public with this new performance. And as tradition dictates, the athlete was invited onto the show’s set What Games, presented by Léa Salamé and Laurent Luyat on France 2. A program that highlights Paralympic athletes and their passion.
Lucas Mazur stung by a joke from Paul de Saint Sernin
During Lucas Mazur’s interview on the set, an unexpected exchange began when comedian Paul de Saint Sernin, also present on the set, tried to tease Lucas Mazur by mentioning his attachment to Toulouse Football Club. “Lucas, is it true that you support Toulouse Football Club?” he asked him.
Lucas Mazur, visibly surprised by this question, seems to have seen a hint of sarcasm in it. “Yes, it’s true, I support Toulouse Football Club, but don’t start getting on my nerves!”, he answered him. To which Paul de Saint Sernin jokingly replied: “It must feel weird to win stuff then, right?”thus alluding to the Toulouse football club’s alleged difficulties in winning matches. “We won the French Cup a few months ago”the Paralympic medallist quickly reacted. A lively exchange, but which clearly shows that Lucas Mazur does not intend to let this happen.
