ICYMI: France's Axel Mazella, a two-time kitefoil world champion, is set for the sport to lift-off at the Paris Games

The 24-year-old Mazella, a double kitefoil world champion in 2017 and 2019, is part of a dominant France team that will be looking to shine on home waters in Marseille.

"We have four men in the top six in the world. They are able to train together, to compete against each other and improve while some other countries may have only one team member." "We have to be stable as we only stand on a stick, a carbon piece under our feet - we're on a tightrope," said Mazella, who has just passed his physiotherapist degree.France kiteboarding team member Axel Mazella attends a training session of the French team in Hyeres, France, April 23, 2021.
