Early life
Alaize was born in Burundi, in 1991, just days before the Burundian Civil War broke out. At three years old, the conflict required one of his legs to be amputated. He arrived in France 12 July 1998, to receive a prosthesis and remained in Montpellier. He runs with this carbon prosthesis specially designed for handisport. He entered INSTEP in 2010 .
Career
Alaize has been long jump world champion four times, for athletes under 23 years. He joined the Elite French Team for the first time in January 2011 during the Handisport World Championship, at Christchurch (New Zealand), when he achieved a sixth place in long jump and eighth place in 200m sprint.
