Press Brief Christophe Lemaitre
I’m looking to keep my momentum after Lausanne. The most important is to get back up in the European rankings before the European Championships. I’d like to run around 10.10, and why not get even closer to 10 seconds. That would be a great performance for me. The goal will be to be in the fight all race long.

Press Brief David OLIVER
It’s always up and down with athletics. I hurt my foot in Shanghai, and it’s been pretty difficult since. I didn’t become a bad runner overnight. I want to have a good performance in Paris, a beautiful city. As a hurdler you have to focus on your lane. But I saw Pascal Martinot Lagarde’s great performance last night. He has very good capabilities.
