Au revoir Montpellier, bonjour Paris! In the final countdown to the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, Australia’s top para athletes have fine-tuned their preparations for Paris in the South of France and in Switzerland. “We saw it with our Olympic track and field team that they performed on the day, when it mattered and they got the results. We have had very similar preparations through staging camps, so there’s no reason why our Paralympians can’t do what our Olympians did.” Full story: https://lnkd.in/dmSk2vyq

Ready to raise the stakes at the Paralympic Games are 14 Aussie field athletes. Featuring reigning Paralympic champion Vanessa Low as well as eight additional global medallists, Australia’s field contingent will show both strength in credentials and numbers when entering Stade de France this week. 💚💛 Full Field Preview: https://lnkd.in/gkmYv9NP #AthleticsNation #CityOfAthletics #ImagineWhatWeCanDo Paralympics Australia
