Cedric Nankin continues to take the wheelchair rugby world by storm and has stamped himself as the best 1.5 player in the world.
Although, as the host nation, France already had their qualification slot, Nankin helped solidify their place for Paris 2024 when France defeated Great Britain and secured the Gold Medal at the 2024 European Championship in Cardiff, Wales.
The “machine” of the French wheelchair rugby team is the nightmare of opposing attackers, as they find it difficult to find a way past the defensive specialist. He made his Paralympic debut at Rio 2016 and was named the best 1.5 player at the 2018 World Championships in Sydney, and the 2019 European Championships in Vejle, Denmark.
