Monday March 19, 2024, the luxury giant, LVMH, announces para-athlete Timothée Adolphe as the new ambassador of the Maison Louis Vuitton, as part of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.
As we approach Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the LVMH family is growing again! After para-cyclist Marie Patouillet and the rugby player Antoine Dupond, LVMH is proud to welcome into its prestigious family Timothy Adolphe.
Visually impaired, the young man discovered Paralympic athletics at the age of 10 thanks to the performance of blind athlete Aladji Bâ during the Sydney Games in 2000. Thus, he began practicing athletics at the end of the 2010s and since then multiplies performances and records !
Dubbed “the white cheetah”, Timothée Adolphe won 2 bronze medals at the world championships over 400 meters, in addition to being 6 times European champion and 20 times French champion. In addition, he holds the European 200 meter record as well as the world's best indoor 60 meter performance.
Despite being disqualified at the Tokyo Paralympic Games during the 400 meters event due to an incident with his guide, he still managed to win silver in the 100 meters, by improving your own personal best at 10”90.
At the same time, he also devotes himself to his second passion: rap. After receiving an excellent reception for his first EP, entitled " On your marks ", in June 2021, he released a single and a music video entitled “OLYMPUS II” upon his return from Tokyo. In this song he shares his emotions, his disappointment, his success, as well as his determination in view of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.
Timothée Adolphe: conquer Paralympic gold alongside LVMH
The French sprinter now only pursues one objective: win Paralympic gold. The pinnacle of an already remarkable career! For this quest, he will be accompanied by LVMH as well as Louis Vuitton, delighted to count him among their ambassadors and considering him as a “Artisan of all victories”. Timothée Adolphe thus joins a prestigious line of athletes alongside Léon Marchand, Mélanie de Jesus dos Santos, Enzo Lefort, Pauline Déroulède, Marie Patouillet, and Antoine Dupont, contributing to further enrich the LVMH family.
