Frenchwoman Nantenin Keïta be leading her country's delegation as team captain.

Keïta, who is visually impaired, won 400 metres T13 gold at Rio 2016 and the 2015 World Championships in Doha.

"I am proud to be team captain because of the trust I received to have this role," Keïta said.

"But we also have great teammates, whether they are captains or not.

"I hope we will have a great time, not only because of sports but also because of the human aspect as sport is a human adventure.

"We love to welcome people in France and we look forward to having them back next year for the Paralympics."

Switzerland's six-time Paralympic champion Marcel Hug is one to watch at the Championships in the T54 800m, 1500m, and 5,000m events.

Hug has established himself as the dominant force in the wheelchair racing category after winning two titles at Rio 2016 and four in Tokyo's postponed 2020 Games.

Already this year, the 37-year-old has won the Boston and London Marathons and set world records in the three distances.

Tunisia's Raoua Tlili, another six-time Paralympic gold medallist, is seeking to match the tally in the World Championships.

She has secured F40 and F41 titles, for athletes of "short stature", in both shot put and discus.

"I am really proud to be here," said Tlili.

"There are a lot of Tunisians living in Paris, but also Moroccan, and other countries.

"I am here to represent Arab women.

"I am going to do my very best to be at the highest level in the World Championships and also in the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.

"I want to change how people look at short stature persons."
