Sprinter Carolle Zahi won the 100m at the European Team Championships Saturday in Bydgoszcz (Poland), bringing 12 points to France.
Zahi dominated the Polish favorite Ewa Swoboda, at home, in 11 sec 31, a fast time because of a 2.5 m / s headwind.
With a best time this season of 11 sec 20, Zahi (25) has met the criteria of the International Athletics Federation (IAAF, 11 sec 24) to be selected at the Doha World Cup (September 27 - October 6) but not still achieved the "required level of performance" by the French Athletics Federation (11.10).
"My goal was to win, so I'm satisfied, just like the time with -2.5 m / s of wind, she reacted in the mixed zone, it gives me confidence for the future, even if I have not yet had the opportunity to make enough confrontations to be ready in Doha, which will arrive very quickly. "
