With less than three days after the opening European Championship Indoor Athletics to be held in Paris from 4 to 6 March, Teddy Tamgho made his decision: "I double in Bercy. This means, in other words, the world record in the triple jump indoors (with 17.91 m) also will start on the length. "It took me three days to stop my decision. I talked with Ivan [Pedroso, his coach, Ed]. I really want, I want to enjoy myself."
But that said participation in two disciplines said double risk of injury ... A hypothesis that Teddy scans, however, a backhander, taking the example of the great Usain Bolt, a triple Olympic champion in 2008: "Bolt threefold: 100m, 200m and 4x100m with series, quarters, semis and finals.It is stronger and does not hurt. "In 2004 and 2008 also, the Russian Tatyana Lebedeva took down every time, two Olympic medals in the triple jump and long jump." She showed she could do both so why not me? "asks he.
After the raid conducted by the French athletes at the European Championships in Barcelona last summer, during which Teddy Tamgho had won "that" one bronze, athletics tricolor therefore lives on a cloud. Bercy also displays full for three days of competition ahead. The news this Parisian delights from Cameroon who undertakes any form of complacency: "Barcelona is finished.Now I think these championships, with the line of sight and the World Games in London. "
