” He was flying “, assures Philippe Dupont, his new trainer. That was in April, after returning from a profitable one-month internship in Seville. Pierre-Ambroise Bosse intended to take advantage of the month of May to quickly set a stopwatch and punch his ticket to Tokyo. But the amazing surprise world champion of the 800m in 2017 was once again overtaken by an injury. This time it’s behind the left leg.

Between attempts to train on a mini-pain, diagnosis and treatment, PAB lost many days, before submitting to an injection of PRP, a concentrate of platelets, which accelerates the healing of the affected muscle. Will Bosse engage in the French championships on the last weekend of June in Angers, a passage supposedly obligatory by the DTN? Not easy.

Increased competition in the 800m in France
He begins to line up interesting sessions again, late at night at INSEP, but there is no shortcut to regaining lost speed-resistance. The minimums are 1’45”20. Bosse validated them in summer 2019 in 1’45”07. But his early elimination at the Doha Worlds, he who had previously been able to systematically qualify for the final of the major Championships, cost him the status of protected athlete (there are only seven). He must prove his fitness. Which can go through an ultimate test, on the July 5 deadline.
