Like the men, the candidates for the title of Paralympic champion of the year all shone in Paris. The athletes adorned with gold will perhaps start as favorites like Aurélie Aubert (boccia), Marie Patouillet (cycling) and Emeline Pierre (swimming). We will still have to count on the other members of the French women’s delegation which will have brought back a total of 14 medals (3 gold, 8 silver and 3 bronze) thanks in particular to Heïdi Gaugain (cycling), Gloria Agblemagnon (athletics) or again Djelika Diallo (taekwondo).
