Boucle - A loop, a cycle to be repeated many, many times. A cycle that is never the same, because each time you go through it you grow. Boucle is the 40-minute documentary produced by the creative agency Yanzi, which tells the fascinating life story of François Pervis.
A journey that is currently reaching its climax, with Pervis' participation in the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics in tandem with Raphaël Beaugillet. A message to be launched, a new and mature way of facing competition, made of help, courage and mutual esteem.
François Pervis - There are stories that begin and sometimes end. Stories made up of falls, climbs and rebirths. Stories that seem to come to an end but then start again, more fascinating and interesting than before. A bit like the story of François Pervis.
A French pistard who has won seven world titles in his career, four in the kilometre, two in the keirin and one in the sprint. He, who has made the challenge, with himself above all, an inseparable companion of adventures. In good times and bad.
Because François Pervis has not had an easy life. His parents, farmers, were certainly not wealthy. But his father always believed in his talents. "You won't have the money to go on holiday, but you'll always have a bike of your size", he promised him. And François honoured that promise by putting his heart and soul into it and winning right from the start. He made the Saint Quentin en Yvelines national velodrome his second home, where he trained twice a day, six days a week.
But Pervis was not destined for an easy road. Highs, lows, falls and disappointments. Such as not being called up for the Olympics in which he firmly believed. The void, the darkness ahead, for François began a complex period.
But when history stops, something comes along to make it start again. And so it was, with a profound experience in Japan that led him to discover the keirin.
He was really strong in the keirin. He regained confidence in his own abilities, began to win again, and dreamed of an Olympics again: Tokyo 2020. To end his career on a high note, to crown his dream. But he was not called up for the national team.
And here begins a new chapter, Pervis' new great challenge: no, he will not be participating in the Olympics. But he will be in the Paralympics. Teamed up with Raphaël Beaugillet, who is visually impaired.
A new goal, a message to send out, a mature and profound way of approaching competition. You are no longer doing it just for you. There are two of you. And the dream is even more beautiful. Because you give your best for yourself and for your companion in the race, and whatever happens, you know that you will have done something great to help those who, in life, face their disabilities with determination and courage, knowing that they can count on the help of others.
