After his abandonment in Munich in the 100m of the decathlon, Kevin Mayer will manage his point at the long adductor. It will be settled in 1 month and he will take several weeks off in September and October to celebrate his title of world champion.

He will also remain in Germany to support his colleagues from the French team and in particular the young Baptiste Thiery, also involved in the decathlon.

Mayer on France 3: “I may have had eyes bigger than my stomach”

“I didn’t want it to burst. I’ve had this pain for three months before Eugene. The decathlon is tight. I chose a lot of rest and recovery and I didn’t test. Last Thursday I I tested but I was in great pain. I spent four days doing non-stop care. It was such an incredible goal to achieve two medals in two championships in three weeks. I wanted to give myself a chance to do so. arrive, to be there on D-Day and see how it responded.

At 50m, when I start to feel that it is getting more and more tense. Above all, I don’t want to leave with an injury. I’m sorry for those who believed in this feat, I believed in it too. I may have had eyes bigger than my stomach. It feels good to be on vacation.

My mind forbids giving up when all is not lost. My experience tells me that we’re drooling and I don’t want to make any more mistakes. I know how to recover. I’m coming out of a season where I only have this very small injury. It’s a rebirth to be world champion without any injuries. There is a good margin and a good confidence.

It is the great adductor. When I did a leg lift during my prep in May, I felt something had gone wrong. It’s not like the quadriceps.”

The blow for Mayer!

Engaged in the third series of the 100m, the reigning world champion in the decathlon stopped in the middle of the race due to pain! He still crossed the line last (11 “67) but his face does not bode well. Terrbiel news for the tricolor clan.
