This Saturday evening, Nafi Thiam wrote a new beautiful page in Belgian athletics. She won the heptathlon at the European Championships in Rome. The double Olympic and world champion became the first to own three European titles in the seven-event discipline. She won thanks to her total of 6,848 points.
For those who are more attentive, the Belgian athlete wore a watch on his right wrist during the last event of the heptathlon. But not just any. She wore a Richard Mile RM 07-04 Automatic Sport watch. A luxury watch. This is the first-ever women’s sports watch released by the brand, and Thiam was allowed to participate in developing the design. Our compatriot did it with five other female athletes: high jumper Yuliya Levchenko, Aurora Straus, Margot Laffite (both active in motor sports), golfer Nelly Korda and ski and snowboard star Ester Ledecka.
As HLN explains, it took three years to develop the RM 07-04 Automatic Sport, similar to Richard Mille’s men’s sports watch. The women’s model is barely more compact and lighter – the watch weighs only 36 grams – and is available in several colors.
The official price is 185,000 dollars (more than 173,705 euros), which largely explains the exclusivity of the accessory. Nafi Thiam is a partner with the famous brand.
“Heptathlon is the most complex athletics discipline and those who participate in it are considered the most versatile athletes. It was his vision and his approach to performance that inspired me to collaborate with Nafi. She has a great sense of analysis and she doesn’t rush. I firmly believe that it is of utmost importance to look for ways to push yourself to become the best and to accept the time that it may take. », We can read on the Swiss brand’s website about the Belgian athlete.
