The Bouygues Bâtiment Grand Ouest Citizen Initiatives Committee has-been lending its support and sponsorship to this young athlete since 2011.
Florian first discovered table tennis when he was 10 years old, having been in a wheelchair since the age of 18 months after his spinal cord was damaged by a virus. His list of achievements is impressive: 3-time European Champion, Bronze medallist at the World Championships in China and 4th at the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
Florian won the bronze medal following a tight match (14-12, 7-11, 11-8, 11-13, 11-5) against Thomas Bruchle of Germany.
Bouygues Bâtiment Grand Ouest is proud to have been able to help Florian qualify for the Paralympic Games.
