Long Jumper. Sprinter. Paralympian. Coach. Prosthetist.

Just out of high school, Dimitri was 18 years old and worked on the docks in the port of Le Port on Reunion Island.

Two days before Christmas 2007, he was seriously injured when a forklift weighing 18 tons rolled over his leg. Dimitri knew immediately that he would lose his right leg and accepted the inevitable.

In June 2008, back on his feet with a prosthetic leg, he resumed his studies while working in a supermarket.
In 2013, he decided to leave his native Reunion Island behind to study prosthetics in Dordogne, France. During his internship, he had the opportunity to test Össur running blades and hasn’t turned back since. He started a career as a para-athlete in track and field in 2015 and by 2018, he was part of the French National team and on a clear path to success.

2007년 크리스마스를 이틀 남기고 사고를 당한 후, 2008년 6월, 의족을 착용하여 다시 일어날 수 있었습니다. 슈퍼마켓에서 일하면서, 공부도 다시 시작했습니다. 2013년, 프랑스 도르도뉴(Dordogne)에서 오서의 러닝 블레이드를 첫 테스트할 기회를 가졌고, 그 길로 그의 패럴림픽 선수 경력은 시작되었습니다.

Dimitri participated at the European Championships in Berlin in 2018, and at the 2019 World Championships in Dubai, he won the silver medal in long jump (7m25) in his category (T64). Four years after his debut in para-athletics, he competed at the Paralympic Games in Tokyo where he again won a silver medal in the long jump.

프랑스 국가대표인 디미트리는 2018년 베를린 유럽선수권대회에 출전했고, 2019년 두바이 세계선수권대회에 참가하여 본인의 종목 - 멀리뛰기(7m25)에서 은메달(T64)을 따냈고, 패럴림픽 선수 데뷔 4년 만에 도쿄 패럴림픽에 출전해 멀리뛰기 은메달을 목에 걸었습니다.
