Jean-Baptiste Alaize`s story is one of its kind. A true Phoenix rising up after losing his leg and mother during the machete attack in Burundi`s civil war when he was only 3 years old. From the horrible tragedy to winning four world champion titles after 20 years. The French athlete specialises in sprint and long jump, but he admits enjoying the long-jump more, because it gives him the "sensation of flying". Oh boy he runs, oh boy he flies!
