France, a nation with a rich history in European athletics, is determined to reclaim a top spot on the podium at the upcoming European Team Championships in Madrid. Their ambitious squad is spearheaded by reigning pole vault world champion Marie-Julie Bonnin, alongside talented long jumper Hilary Kpatcha and impressive middle-distance runner Agathe Guillemot. With a mix of seasoned veterans and exciting new talent, the French team is poised to make a significant impact.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

France, a historical powerhouse in European athletics, arrives in Madrid with a clear objective: to reclaim a podium spot. After securing third place in 2015, 2017, and 2019, the team finished sixth and seventh in the last two editions. This year, they’ve assembled a formidable squad to achieve their goal. Leading the charge is Marie-Julie Bonnin<\/strong>, the reigning indoor world champion and continental bronze medalist. The 23-year-old pole vaulter from Bordeaux is having a sensational 2025 season, having recently matched the French national record with a vault of 4.75m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Athletes to Watch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Hillary Kpatcha<\/strong> will be a strong contender in the long jump. She finished second in this competition two years ago and achieved a personal best this season, surpassing the 7-meter barrier with a jump of 7.02m. Kpatcha also brings a strong youth record, including an U23 European Championship title and an U20 World bronze.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Middle-distance runner Agathe Guillemot<\/strong> is another proven talent. The French national record holder in the 1500m (3:56.69), she will compete in her specialty on the Vallehermoso green track. Her fantastic year includes an indoor European Championship gold, adding to the bronze she earned last summer in Rome.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • In the men’s 1500m, keep an eye on U23 athlete Anas Lagtiy Chaudar<\/strong>, a promising miler who has run a swift 3:31.58.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Anais Bourgoin<\/strong> is set to impress in the 800m. The Rome bronze medalist recently set a new personal best of 1:57.81, making her a strong contender.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • In the hammer throw, the imposing Yann Chaussinand <\/strong>(1.96m, 110kg) is expected to contribute significant points, following his impressive 81.91m throw in May.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    This is the team that Romain Barras<\/strong>, high performance director of the French Athletics Federation, believes will bring success back from the Spanish capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
