This story can sound familiar and normal, with one difference: as a result of an early poliomyelitis, Jean has a walking disability, a detail that, knowing all the activities he performs, its almost anecdotic.

In 2003 he participated in the New York’s Marathon, in the handcycle category. Then other races and challenges came, such us tennis, golf and finally, dualski.
