Les Trois Mousquetaires

Pas Athos, Aramis et Porthos, mais Christophe, Renaud et Teddy. The latter 3 are beginning to create waves in the world of athletics. While Teddy's performance may have been the most impressive, when he triple jumped 17.90m to go sixth on the all-time list ( he bettered his PB in New York with a jump of 17.98m to go third on the all-time list - WR = 18.43m) and Renaud leads the Diamond League pole vault standings, it was Christophe's 100m run of 9.98s that garnered the most headlines as he became the first white man to break the mythical 10 second barrier. Christophe is 20 so by the time London 2012 comes around, he should no longer be fazed by running in the lane next to Usain Bolt as he may have been on Friday night in Paris where he finished 5th in a time of 10.08s - mind you, Christophe will have his work cut out if Usain Bolt decides to defend his Beijing title as he made his winning time of 9.84s look like the proverbial walk in the park.


Allez Christophe, Renaud et Teddy!!
