Marie-Amelie Le Fur lost a leg at 15. Nine medals later she faces her biggest challenge
Briefly

Sport was so important in those first few weeks after the accident because it allowed me to rebuild myself psychologically and construct an identity.
She wants to use the Paris Paralympic Games to push for a more inclusive society in France, revolutionising the patchy access to disability sport and boosting disability rights.
For decades, French parasport was underfunded and not well supported. Paris's bid to host the Olympics and Paralympics began to change things.
Le Fur wants France to win double the 11 Paralympic gold medals that were achieved in Tokyo and inspire a new generation to take up parasports.
