Philippe Croizon will comment on the Olympic and then Paralympic Games in Paris 2024 for RTL radio. The 56-year-old athlete-adventurer and media man, who had both arms and shins amputated after an electrocution in 1994, was recruited by RTL.

“I will be a free electron. I will have a column in the morning show, then I will also be on the air every evening,” declares the man who directed the feat of swimming across the Channel with the help of carbon and titanium fins, in 2010.
