PILOT

Christophe Huchet

Christophe is the official pilot of the Smart ArM team for the Cybathlon 2020. He was born with an agenesis of the right arm including the elbow. While studying business, he began a career as a swimmer. Many times French Champion of 100-meter breaststroke races, in the handisport section, it is however in the valid section that he is the happiest to make finals and podiums. He also obtained to have the FFN rules modified, which regularly disqualified him for not touching the wall with both hands! Over the last 20 years, Christophe has created several restaurants in Paris, that he recently sold in order to resume his studies and become a certified coach. His goal is to guide the managers of small and medium-sized companies, as well as he had been guided as a company manager himself. His participation to the Cybathlon 2020 is for him a new adventure that promises him a rich and intense year.
