Paris 2024: Fleur Jong's Unforgettable Long Jump to Victory🥇

Fleur Jongn, the Dutch Paralympic athlete, has  made history by winning the gold medal in the   women’s long jump T64 event at the 2024 Summer  Paralympics in Paris, France. This is Jong’s   second consecutive gold medal in the long jump,  having also won at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics. Jong victory in Paris is a testament to her  hard work, dedication, and unwavering spirit.   Despite facing adversity in her life, she has  risen above the challenges and become a true   inspiration to people around the world. Fleur Jong was born on December 17, 1995,   in Purmerend, Netherlands. A few days before  her 17th birthday, she contracted a bacterial   blood infection that led to the amputation of her  right leg below the knee, part of her left foot,   and the top halves of eight fingers. A year  later, she made the decision to have her left   leg amputated below the knee as well,  as she was unable to use it properly.  Despite the challenges she faced, Jong  refused to let her disability define her.   She discovered her passion for Paralympic  sports and began training in athletics.
