Gold-medalist Mauricio Valencia of Staff Colombia poses for a photograph throughout the medal ceremony for the lads’s shot put F34 last on day 10 of the Paris 2024 Summer time Paralympic Video games. Valencia had his canine tooth modified to appear to be fangs so as to break down any stereotypes individuals might have about Paralympic athletes. He says, “I didn’t wish to have the identical smile as the remainder of the world. I’ve at all times stated that Paralympic sport needs to be a spectacle.”
