00:00 It's been several weeks now that Mathieu Larto has started re-education after his
00:12 amputation at the right leg.
00:14 A well-known handicapped athlete has just challenged him on Instagram and the journalist
00:23 does not stop showing off.
00:24 In April, the 43-year-old journalist made the public announcement of his cancer at the
00:40 right knee.
00:41 A relapse from a disease he had contracted when he was very young.
00:48 This time, the rugby specialist at France Télévisions had to make a radical decision
00:56 and have himself amputated at the level of his right leg.
00:59 A necessarily complicated test for the father of a family, very supportive since his very
01:06 sad announcement.
01:07 Despite the trials, things seem to be going in the right direction for Mathieu Larto.
01:16 The operation was a great success and he must now familiarize himself with this new leg.
01:22 "I come out of a long tunnel, and there, I see the light.
01:28 I am in a specialized re-education center, I have been doing my first steps with my
01:35 prosthesis for a few days, I put in a lot of effort, but everything is fine," he explained
01:40 on July 24 to the Parisians.
01:46 A new test to overcome for the sports journalist, whose goal is to come back as soon as possible
01:52 and why not comment on the matches of the next Rugby World Cup.
01:57 To motivate him, a famous French athlete found an original idea by throwing him a
02:05 little challenge in his story, which can be found in the diaporama, on Instagram.
02:11 Victim of a road accident, Pauline Desrouledes was amputated on her left leg.
02:17 Mathieu Larto not yet ready, but not against.
02:23 Becoming one of the best tennis players in wheelchair, she aims to shine at the
02:29 2024 Paris Olympics.
02:32 In the meantime, she trains and during one of her sessions, she just launched a little
02:38 challenge to Mathieu Larto.
02:41 "We are running soon at 24 kg on each arm," writes Pauline Desrouledes, who is seen
02:48 succeed this exercise without difficulty.
02:50 For his part, the one who was able to count on the indefatigable support of his wife
02:58 does not seem quite in the state of acceptance.
03:02 "Give me a few more days," he retorts after this request.
03:06 So, will we soon witness a race with weight between Mathieu Larto and Pauline Desrouledes?
03:15 The journalist does not say no.
03:18 the world.
