CASCADE – « Charles Noakes > Tom Cruise, if you ask me. “Like this spectator present at the Club France, Tuesday September 3 in Paris, the arrival of the Paralympic champion in front of the supporters made a strong impression. Suspended from the ceiling, the badminton player abseiled down towards the delirious crowd. This incredible stunt was needed to celebrate the gold medal won the day before.
As you can see in the video at the top of the articleCharles Noakes set the crowd at La Villette alight. The 27-year-old had created a surprise by finishing first in the individual tournament in the SH6 category, which includes small players.
A gold medal and a waterfall
In his first Paralympic Games appearance, Charles Noakes showed no fear and delivered an incredible performance against British player Krysten Coombs.
There was no question of trembling either when it was necessary to hang on to the harnesses of the ceiling of the Club France to reenact Tom Cruise’s stunt during the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games. Charles Noakes put on a show in his image: impressive and funny.
A humor that he cultivates on his social networks, where he often publishes funny videos. A way to take a step back from his disability and share his daily life as a Paralympic athlete with his audience.
