MEDICAL CONDITION
He has been diagnosed with Scheuermann disease, a condition that affects the vertebrae in the spine. He also has spondylolisthesis, which can cause a vertebra in the spine to slip forward. "I've heard a lot of advice, including from those at the National Institute for Sport, Expertise and Performance [INSEP] who have given me the okay, as long as the condition is monitored regularly. I think that, unconsciously, this has also motivated me to show those who said I couldn't practise gymnastics at the highest level that they were wrong." (INSEP Le Mag, 01 May 2023)
