The 4×100 relay quickly disillusioned me
The last image of these European Championships for the French team will remain a very ugly memory. The girls in the 4x100m did not go to the end of their final, since the second torchbearer, Gemima Joseph left too early for Floriane Gnafoua to pass the baton to her in the area. End of the adventure after a handful of seconds, far from the madness that took hold of the stadium when it saw Germany win in 42”34 ahead of Poland (42”61) and Italy (42′ ’84). “It didn’t happen. We were all on fire testified Gnafoua. I left strong and so did Gemima. But she didn’t hear me. We are much better than what we did in series. There, it was evening, we had a lot of juice, a lot of energy. It is a very good relay. Next year we will be ready. And maybe we’ll bring home a medal, that’s what we wanted to do tonight. »
