The French Athletics Federation has selected 35 new athletes, most of them those who won the French Championships at the end of July in Saint-Etienne and who have met the minimums requested by the International Athletics Federation (IAAF) to participate in the most prestigious competition. of the year.

Among them, regulars already medalists in major competitions like Renaud Lavillenie (pole), Mélina Robert-Michon (record), Alexandra Tavernier (Hammer), Jimmy Vicaut (100 m and relay 4x100 m) or Pascal Martinot-Lagarde (110 m hurdles), but also athletes destined to become like Quentin Bigot (hammer), Wilhem Belocian (110 m hurdles) or Solène Ndama (100 m hurdles).
