ATHLETICS WORLDS. Start of the world athletics championships this Friday, July 15 with several chances of medals for the French.
The biggest competition of the year in athletics, the world championships are particularly awaited by athletes, one year after the Tokyo Olympics. Among the stars to watch, Olympic 100m champion Marcel Jacobs is a bit uncertain after several months of injury, but is aiming for a first world championship title. Belgian Nafissatou Thiam, a legendary heptathlete, is aiming for a new world title after that acquired in 2017 and will also be one of the stars to follow. Finally, how can Mundo Duplantis quote. The Swedish pole vaulter, world record holder and above all alone in the world for several seasons, is aiming for a first title of world champion in the United States.
Allyson Felix, the American legend will also be there and will retire after the Worlds at home. “It’s going to be full of emotions I think, she considers. It’s the last for me, I don’t really know what to expect, but I’m going to give it my all and have fun. I hope that ‘I will be remembered as a fierce competitor, but most importantly, as someone who tried to leave the sport better than I found it, who tried to support female athletes , and women in general, and to fight for more equality.”
Among the French, eyes will be on Kévin Mayer. Favorite of the decathlon, the Frenchman hopes to wash away the disappointment of the Tokyo Olympics and his silver medal in a competition where he was injured. We can also mention the young nugget of the 110m hurdles Sascha Zhoya who is competing in his first year as a senior. A few days ago, and at only 20 years old, he won the French Championships in June with a time of 13.24 s in the semi-final then 13.17 s in the final. This represents the 9th world performance of the year, and the best for a European.
