His dream is about to disappear. Present at a press conference at Club France on Tuesday, decathlete Kevin Mayer estimated his chances to appear at the start of the decathlon at “10%”. On the verge of tears, the world record holder in his discipline therefore has a good chance of not participating in the Olympic Games of Paris, as the decathlon competition begins on Friday August 2.
After suffering to qualify for the Olympics, Mayer, a double silver medalist in Rio and then Tokyo, returned on July 7 at the Meeting de Charléty. Hit in the hamstring, he is very optimistic about his chances to participate in the Games. Despite his own “surprisingly” improved record in recent days, he is on the verge of losing his time trial race.
