The 36-year-old maintained his dominance by leaping 8.13 meters, securing his position. His all-time best jump stood at 8.72 meters, achieved in 2023. After a wakeboard accident at 14, Rehm tragically lost his right leg below the knee.
German jumper Noah Bodelier was another contender. Rehm's teammate from TSV Bayer Leverkusen placed sixth with a jump of 6.98 meters. This marked the sixth gold medal victory for the German Paralympic Committee at the prominent competition held in the French capital.
