Linda Le Bon (and her sighted guide and daughter Ulla Gilot) and Rémi Mazi competed at the 2022 Winter Paralympics.[6][7][3] Pierre Couquelet was originally scheduled to be Linda Le Bon's sighted guide.[4] Couquelet was not able to compete as her guide after failing a doping test due to an administrative error related to medication that he takes.[8]
