The story of Cléo: Overcoming tragedy and pursuing a Paralympic tennis dream

On this Friday at 8:30 PM, a special feature on Cléo, a 14-year-old girl whose life changed drastically after a severe accident in 2015, will air on France 2. Cléo was hit by a car while shopping with her family at age three, resulting in the amputation of her leg. Despite the trauma, she faced the challenge of learning to walk again and overcoming societal perceptions. Her journey took a positive turn after meeting Pauline Déroulède, a Paralympic wheelchair tennis player who also experienced a similar accident. Inspired by Pauline, Cléo developed a passion for wheelchair tennis and now dreams of becoming a champion in the sport. The program, part of 'Les rencontres de 20h30,' offers a portrait of resilience and hope, highlighting her struggles and aspirations. The feature includes interviews, photographs, and a detailed recount of her experiences, emphasizing her determination to succeed and her new ambition to compete at the Paralympic level.
