Disability Sport in Saint-Raphaël 

Since the first race for deaf cyclists in 1890 and the creation of the Association sportive des Mutilés de France in 1954, the disability sports movement has continued to evolve. Today, the French Disability Sport Federation (FFH), a member of the CNOSF and the CPSF, is recognised as being in the public interest. It works to promote and develop physical and sporting activities for people with motor, physical or sensory disabilities, both for leisure and competition.

The FFH conveys a message, a model of society in which inclusion is not decreed, but is built with vigilance and high standards.

It is guided by three strong values that give meaning to its actions: uniqueness, autonomy and achievement.

Team Relay in Saint-Raphaël, May 10.

At the historic CREPS site in Boulouris, our Relay team from the Var will make a lap of the track to keep the Flame alive. As a department committed to sport for all, with the presence of the Pomponiana Olbia Functional Re-education Institute promoting inclusive sporting activities for people with severe disabilities, our Relay will symbolise the uniqueness of each individual. This strong value of the French Disability Sport Federation illustrates our desire to offer sports adapted to the abilities of each person.

For the first time in the history of the Games, each day of the Olympic Torch Relay and Paralympic Torch Relay, relay teams of 24 people, made up of champions, everyday athletes, volunteers, referees, coaches, etc. will be organized to spread the energy of sport and teamwork throughout the country.
