Mélina Robert-Michon enters the history of French athletics! Sacred at the French long throws championships on Sunday in Salon-de-Provence with a throw of 63.43 meters, the Lyonnaise became the French athlete with the most national titles.
‘MRM’, in fact, won its 34th national title and surpassed the record of Lucienne Vélu, set before the Second World War. In addition, she signed the best global performance of the year.
On the way to the Olympics
A good omen for Mélina Robert-Michon. At 41, the discus thrower, reigning Olympic vice-champion and 34 times French champion (including winter competitions) is applying for a podium at the Tokyo Games.
Ten days ago, she confided in Ouest-France about her career, her goals, but also and above all her daily life outside of sport, her routine as a mother and the obstacles encountered by a sportswoman in France.
