Paris 2024: victim of a ruptured Achilles tendon, French hurdler Just Kwaou-Mathey is out of the Olympic Games
“This morning, I had a successful operation on a ruptured Achilles tendon that occurred during my preparation camp in Dubai (…) The return begins now, let’s work hard to be back stronger than ever”. Here are the words shared by the 24-year-old Norman, Just Kwaou-Mathey, on his Instagram account, this Friday, April 12. This injury, synonymous with a long absence of at least six months, will deprive the 110m hurdles specialist of the Paris Olympic Games, which arrive in less than four months.
A hard blow for the French delegation. The hurdler, the only medalist in the French delegation alongside his compatriot Cyréna Samba-Mayela, during the last Indoor World Championships in Glasgow in March, was one of the athletes capable of reaching at least a final on the Stade de France track. next summer.
Behind the tree of hedges which hid the forest, the French team had struggled to exist in Scotland where it presented itself with 13 athletes. Its members will have the opportunity to face international competition one last time during the European Championships in Rome in June, where Kwaou-Mathey will not be present this time to bring a medal.
