This time, Shana Grebo is on track to go to Paris. Saturday in the Bahamas, late at night in France, the French women’s 4×400 meters relay finished second in its series behind Poland and won one of the two places available for the Olympic Games. Alongside Fanny Peltier, Diana Iscaye and Camille Seri, the 23-year-old Breton completed the event in 3’08”06. Ensuring them a direct place in Paris. “We didn’t think we would be able to qualify in the first race, but ultimately everything is possible,” rejoiced Diana Iscaye.
She still has to get her place
In addition to the precious ticket to Paris (July 26 – August 11), the 4×400 relay also won its place for the final of these world relays contested in Nassau (Bahamas).
If her relay qualified for Paris, the athlete born in Rennes is not yet sure of being at the Olympics. It still needs to be selected.
In addition, the mixed 4x400m and 4x100m women’s and men’s relays also qualified for the Olympic event. Paradoxically it was the men’s 4x400m relay, world vice-champion last summer in Budapest, which was unable to secure a place at the Games, the second relay runner Thomas Jordier having had to stop his race, injured.
