ATHLETICS: Amiens UC in search of gold in Caen


Amiens UC, which takes 12 athletes to the French Elite Championships, has arguments to make to get good results in Normandy.

It is undoubtedly in competitions that Amiens UC, whose contingent will be strictly mixed, has the best chances. Starting with the hammer this Friday. If for Aurore Dillyit is already a great performance to be able to line up with these Elite for a second consecutive year, with the 11th performance of the entries on the balance sheets, Jean-Baptiste Brussels is clearly applying for a podium. And why not better… Author of a 75.20 m this year which places him 3rd in the national balance sheets, and now present on the world circuit, he may also have qualification for the European championships in the back of his mind. , even of the world, which take place this summer.

The next day, the women’s length will take over. And this time, it is not one but two chances of medals which are offered to the Samarian club. If Marie-Jeanne Ourega and Yanis David constitute real competition, Maëlly Dalmat et Tiphaine Mauchant are co-holders of the 2nd best performance of the year. And they will have to perform to get their ticket to Munich. This Saturday could also be busy for the last mentioned, also engaged in the 100m, with nevertheless only the 22nd time in the balance sheets among the competitors expected in Caen. Finally, we will find William Aubatin up to it, qualified despite a year less devoted to competition, but which thus risks being a bit short to aim for something. On the other hand, no triple jump competition for Thomas Gogois, injured.

On the racing side, because there are some all the same, Thomas Jordierless in sight this season (8th time of the 400m entries), will still try to recover the title which had been taken from him following an undeserved disqualification in Angers. Clement Touatihe will discover this competition over 1,500m (23rd).

Finally, on Sunday, Fatoumata Balley (4th) will be clearly in ambush at the height, while Rebecca Moustin-Aubatin (10th) and Aminata Ndiaye (9th) start from further away. Finally, the men’s length will catch the eye. European junior record holder indoors this winter and French junior record holder outdoors last summer, Erwan Konate only happens with the 5th best performance of the year of the entrants, which is to say the density of the competition. Same Raihau Maiau (7th), who is coming back in good shape, can hope for great things.
