Euro athletics: Amiens Thomas Gogois wins bronze and takes an option for the Paris Olympic Games


I hope I made the city of Amiens and France proud“: it is with these words that Amiens Thomas Gogois celebrates his bronze medal at the European Athletics Championships this Tuesday, June 11. At the same time, he achieved the minimums for the Paris Olympics.

With a jump of 17.38 m, Thomas Gogois smashed his personal best more than fifty centimeters. “I promised my mother that I was going to give it my all. I had nothing to lose, he explained to our colleagues at France Télévision after his performance. What a finale! I still have a lot of work to do to tease these guys [l’Espagnol Jordan Alejandro Diaz et le Portugais Petro Pichardo, arrivés premier et deuxième] in the future.” The future for Thomas Gogois will probably involve the Olympic Games in Paris, since he has achieved the minimums.

At 23, the Amiens man clearly displays his great ambitions and granted us an interviewas part of our Olympicardy series.
