Paralympic story
About the author
Mathieu Sanchez
Since my earliest memories, I have followed and practised sports with passion and enthusiasm. Journalism came after, maybe because I wasn't good enough to be a professional, but mostly due to my curiosity and love for storytelling. Currently, I'm a video editor at a local TV and radio station.
