After the basins, Sami now launches on the floors. TF1 made official Tuesday the participation in the dance competition of the disabled athlete of 35 years. The athlete from Orleans, who underwent a lower amputation of his left leg, started swimming at the age of 5. Worn by a steel mind and his mantra "Nothing is real everything is possible" ("Nothing is real everything is possible"), he became French Champion in the 50m and 100m freestyle in 2008, 2009 and 2010. He also competed at the 2008 Paralympic Summer Games in Beijing and those in London in 2012.
