European Athletics Championships: France second on the medal table!

The year 2024 is definitely synonymous with sport, with Roland-Garros, athletics, the Euro and the Olympic Games all taking place in just three months! Only Kevin Mayer was able to bring home a medal from the 2022 World Athletics Championships, and he has now qualified for Paris. But it was other Frenchmen who did the blue white and red flag proud this week, at the 2024 European Championships, taking place in Rome until this Wednesday, June 12, 2024.
