The departmental long throws championships, Saturday January 11 in Rochefort, allowed local athletes to perform their first throws of the winter season. Ninth in the French Elite Championships last summer, US Saintes Athletics member Mathys Pinson sent his machine just one meter from his personal best.
With 60.37 m (record 61.43 m), the Saintais had a very good comeback, and signed the 6th French performance of the season. This is two meters more than last season, during which he beat his personal best by finishing in 6th place in the French winter championships. Scheduled for the end of February, these give him time to improve his already good form. Note that in this same competition he achieved two other throws very close to 60 m, with 59.59 m. Rochefort will host the regional championships (north zone) of Nouvelle-Aquitaine long throws on Saturday January 25.
