Paris 2023 Para Athletics World Championships

Luc, Venue Manager
-
Markus, Para Long Jumper
-
François, Volunteer
-
Madison, Wheelchair Racer
You won’t find him on the track. Or the field. But thanks to Luc, Paris was ready and raring to go as the world’s best competed at the World Para Athletics Championships from 8-17 July.
“In the week before the competition, we don’t jump anymore.” Steffi Nerius, coach and mentor of Markus Rehm gives a glimpse into how she helps the Paralympic Champion get ready to give his best on and off the field.
François is a volunteer. A professional volunteer. As a speaker of seven languages, he’s one of the last people athletes see before taking the field. He’s always ready. And he makes sure each athlete is, too.
Preparation is a mindset. A mindset that helps you make the big calls, even when things don’t quite go to plan. Madison never planned to pull out mid-race in Paris - but she knew there was a bigger picture. And she can now focus on giving her best at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.
