The harvest of medals continues for the Blues during these Paralympic Games.
The seventh medal of the French delegation in Tokyo was - again - offered by track cycling.
It is the finest metal and we owe it to Dorian Foulon, 23, in a 4,000m C5 individual pursuit.
🇫🇷 EXCEPTIONAL !!!
Dorian Foulon gleans the 2nd gold medal for the French delegation.
🥇 At the end of a remarkable race, the Frenchman is rewarded for his efforts.
Thank you for this great fight.

The young Paralympic champion joins Alexandre Léauté, gold medalist the day before in the C2 pursuit, who also won silver shortly before in the 1000m time trial.
The two Bretons of origin will be able to happily celebrate their titles!
On Wednesday, another cyclist, Marie Patouillet, had the honor of offering France its first medal, by winning bronze in the individual pursuit.
World champion in the discipline, Dorian Foulon broke the world record in qualifying in 4 minutes, 18 seconds and 274 hundredths. Born with clubfoot, the young man suffers from atrophy of his left leg. Also reigning world time trial champion, he will return to the track on August 30 to try to win a second gold medal at these Games in this other category.
