Saturday was a successful day for French athletes competing at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, with no less than eight medals collected. Dorian Furlong gave France their third gold medal and defending Olympic title. The Porter brothers shared the podium together in the swim meet. After three days of competition, the French team is ranked eighth in the medal table, which is also the goal the French team has set for itself.
