The sprinter who lives and trains in Texas ahead of the recent European Espoirs Champion Jeff Erius (10.27) and William Aguessy (10.36).
“Frankly I am satisfied, I came to do the double (100 m Friday and 200 m Saturday) And for the first day, work is done. We wait for the second day and we can smile“reacted the sprinter after his race.
He thus won his second title of champion of France over 100 meters even if it is the first time that he has passed the finish line at the top. In 2023, he finished second but winner Mouhamadou Fall was then disqualified for doping.
If he won on Friday 1is August, Ryan Zézé remains very far from the minima for the world championships in Tokyo (9.96).

Out of 5,000 m male, the best French in history on the distance have offered a beautiful show.

“For once, we do not attend a 5,000 m which is only run in the last 400 meters“, APPÉCIÉ SCHRUB.”Jimmy put a little long acceleration and I, behind, I had the suction and I knew he could not keep this rhythm until the end“.
“I was a little inspired by the Tour de France“, Asked Gressier, not a bad loser for a penny.”I knew that Yann had a hell of a finish and I wanted a bit blunt (…) It was incredible“.
The two athletes have already produced the minimums for the Worlds, just like Etienne Daguinos, third Friday 1is August in 13 min 37 sec 01.
Out of 10,000 m walk, Clémence Beretta improved her own French record in 42 min 52 sec 17 and won the best world performance of the season on this unprepared event in the international championship.

“It’s frustrating because I have been around since the start of the season“regretted the 46 -year -old launcher.”After a title of champion of France, it always makes me happy, that’s why I’m here, otherwise I would stop“.
Unsurprisingly, the few other headliners of the day easily passed the series of series: Agathe Guillemot won in series of the 1,500 m (4: 17.92) and Gabriel Tual won the 800m series in (1: 47.36).
The European Champion Alice Finot, immense favorite, retained her national title 3,000 m steeple (9: 33.16) but she hurt herself in the calf during the race.
