Paralympic Moments of the Year: 5️⃣
Aurelie Aubert became one of the biggest stars of the Paris 2024 Paralympics both on and off the boccia court. She won the women’s individual BC1 tournament and captured France’s first ever Paralympic gold medal in boccia. Less than a week later, she was back in the spotlight, extinguishing the Paralympic Flame during the Closing Ceremony 🌟
“For me, the French crowd also played an important role; they gave me strength. Even though during the first match I struggled to stay in my bubble while hearing the cheers, I enjoyed it afterwards,” Aubert recalled. “I felt like everyone knew me, whereas until then I had been in the shadows.”
