Athletics: former French glory Michel Jazy died at the age of 87. Double European champion, Olympic vice-champion over 1,500 meters in 1960, his exploits aroused immense popular enthusiasm.
The French Athletics Federation deplores a “huge loss’ “Jazy left his mark on our sport with his results and his world records, he was a great figure in French sport,” reacted to AFP Pierre Weiss, former director of the FFA and close friend of the family.
