83 years old and high jump champion: this is Daniel, an octogenarian who trains every day to win laurels.

And medals, he has them!

Champion of Mayenne, champion of France and even world champion in his age category, Daniel is far from being a retired athlete.

He is training today for the 2022 European Championships for over 80s. 

Globally, Daniel has a Swedish rival, but he doesn't see it as a problem: “It's not war, because he's the one who wins all the time.

I jump to do the best I can, but I'm not a fan of competition.

The other is almost a partner, not an enemy.

»The secret of its shape?

Daily training: "If people did more sport, social security would be less in deficit!"

Daniel is preparing for the European championships in the video of our partner Brut.
