Finistère short cross championship in Quimper

“I've just done several 5,000m races in the last few weeks. The distance proposed today suited me perfectly,” explained Béatrice Osty after her victory.

Also crowned last year in Bannalec, the athlete from Quimper Athlétisme, whose generosity in managing the effort is known, took the lead from the start. “At the top of the last loop, I no longer heard the breathing of my rivals. Relieved, I then proceeded calmly to the finish. »

We thought that Adèle Le Berre, her teammate at Quimper Athlétisme, was going to be her No. 1 opponent. It was ultimately Clémence Merckling, the young hopeful from Bannalec, who finished in second place, ahead of Le Berre by 11 seconds.

Pierre Quinquis, the beautiful surprise

“It went very quickly. We let the athletes from Quimper do the job at the start of the race,” commented Pierre Quinquis after his success. Notably Morgan L'Helguen and Erwan Richard, at the head of the peloton from the start. “I am pleasantly surprised by this victory. I will continue the season on the court, even if, next year, I will participate in the Paris marathon. »
