In addition, the aim is to smooth the path for their athletic careers and personal development by helping them prepare for challenges at Paralympic level.
Nicolas Duchêne, a partner at REYL & Cie, said: “The resilience and determination shown by Robin and Sofia in the face of such disruptions are a true source of inspiration. Our support underpins our firm commitment to promoting exceptional athletes as they prepare for national, international and Paralympic competitions.”
Paralympic athlete Sofia Gonzalez explained: “Despite the many problems created by the pandemic, including gym closures and the cancellation of certain competitions, I’ve been able to keep up with my physical training. I’ll soon be taking part in the Dubai Para Athletics Grand Prix in February, which is keeping me motivated. The support provided by REYL Group has encouraged me to step up my efforts and push beyond my limits to participate and succeed at the Tokyo Paralympic Games this summer.”
Paralympic athlete Robin Cuche added: “2020 was an odd year: the World Cup finals were cancelled due to the virus, just after we arrived in Lillehammer, Norway. During the upcoming events scheduled in Switzerland and Austria, I plan to fight for a spot on the podium in the speed races, coming in regularly in the Top 10 if not Top 5 for my technical performance. I am happy I can count on the support of my family and REYL Group.”
