It was Sunday in Mulhouse. Loan Ville became French champion in the 400m hurdles in 59 seconds and 47 hundredths. It is the pride of New Caledonian athletics. The one who came back as a gold medalist from the Mini-games in Saipan is rewarded for all her efforts and sacrifices. “For a while, she had been preparing for this championship and she wanted to be champion of France”says Paul Poaniewa, president of the New Caledonia athletics league.

Loan Ville now holds the New Caledonian record. Moreover, she is the first Caledonian champion of France in this race. “Usually they are pitchers. That changes things a bit. It’s a good thing for New Caledonian athletics.”rejoices Paul Poaniewa. This result is also the best French performance of the year.

The runner has obviously benefited from the experience of the Mini-games. “In Caledonia, when she runs, she is always alone. At Mini-games, it’s a bit high. There was competition. When you arrive at the French Championship, you are already a little familiar. When she got there, she was already well in her head.he says.

According to him, Loan Ville will not stop there. “His goal is to go further. There are also his studies. She’s going to do both at the same time.”he says.
