## Transcript

The 2.5 million tickets available, we already sold around 2 million tickets. That's good. We know that we will continue to sell tickets over the next days and probably till the end of the games. It's been the case for the Olympics. We sold tickets till the last the last day, even the last hour, and that's been quite exciting for us to see that fans till the end, were excited and really wanted to take the last opportunities. We can expect it will be also the case with the launch of the opening ceremony, with the launch of the first competitions, we can expect that there will be also new fans interested in being part of the Parmpics at the end.

There are still around 500,000 tickets available in many sports. Don't hesitate to seize those opportunities. These attests are here to compete. They are rivals. They want the tenth of the second, the 1 centimeter, they want the small difference, and still, they live together in the Paralympic village, a place that is absolutely accessible under the same roof, in peace, and why the world cannot be sorry, like that, outside of the Paralympic village, outside of the Plympic game, outside of the Paris 2024 umbrella. So in that sense, yes, it's disappointing that if we give persons with disability and opportunity, they can excel.

But we don't want that only in sport. That's why we say change starts with sport, but we want this in the board room, in the classroom, we want this in the communities. We want this in every different society. So we want change to start with sport, but goes beyond that. That being said, we want them to focus on that. We focus on their performances focus in their responsibility as persons with disability who are in the most important platform on the planet for persons with disability to advance the agenda, the human rights agenda, persons with disability. And despite what is going on in different parts of the world to focus on that.

It's just disgraceful that in 2024, we are seeing what we see in the news, in terms of conflicts around the world, in terms of polarization, in terms of hostility, in terms of basically people just being able to live together.
