A French Paralympian has been able to walk again – all thanks to a technology. Tennis player Kevin Piette, 36, who lost the use of his legs in an accident aged 11, has made history by carrying the Olympic torch wearing a robotic exoskeleton. Heartwarming footage shows him smiling as he passes waving crowds in Poissy, northwest Paris, as the traditional torch relay nears the end of its route. X user @Brink_Thinker posted the clip, which has been described as'inspirational' by fellow social media users. Replying to the post, someone said: 'I have never seen a happier face!!!' Kevin Piette, paraplegic since an accident, made history today by carrying the Olympic flame with his exoskeleton! 'Exoskeleton' is used to describe a mechanical shell that covers the user and them provides robotic support.
