Romane Dicko Officially Opens the Paralympic Tournament in Paris
In a reflective continuation of the traditions set by the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the esteemed Romane Dicko officially inaugurated the Paralympic tournament this morning with the ceremonial ‘Trois coups’ (The three knocks). This time-honored signal marks the commencement of competition and showcases the contributions of prominent figures from the realms of sport and entertainment.
Romane Dicko expressed her joy and connection to the occasion, saying, “It is truly wonderful to be back here. Due to the demands of my own career, I often find it challenging to follow para-judo competitions closely. Therefore, I am particularly elated to witness the events taking place in Paris, which holds significant symbolic value.
While para-sports may typically draw smaller audiences, I am convinced that the current Paralympic Games mark a transformative moment in this regard. There is an overwhelming enthusiasm from the spectators, an unprecedented sense of support that I have not witnessed before. I am here to lend my support to the French judoka and all the athletes participating in this prestigious event.”
The excitement among the crowd was palpable, as evidenced by the near-capacity attendance within the stadium just thirty minutes into the competition. The fervor and dedication shown by spectators in support of the para-judo athletes set a promising tone for the tournament, signaling an auspicious beginning to this significant occasion.
