Célia Tabet aims to break the French ekiden record this Sunday
Published
For the first time in her career, runner Célia Tabet is going to take on a French record. This Sunday, she will attempt to beat the national ekiden record, a road relay race. This discipline is not the best known in France, but it attracts more and more runners.
The ekiden is a race of Japanese origin. Several runners pass a baton at each stage, and the fastest team over the whole course wins. The French record is therefore a collective time, which depends on the performance of each athlete and the coordination of the team.
In her statements, Célia Tabet remains open and ambitious. She even joked, "and why not more if we're compatible?" This remark shows that she does not only want to succeed in this attempt, but also to go further if conditions are good.
This attempt is a new challenge for the athlete, who is discovering here an event different from her usual races. Sunday's results will tell whether the French record can fall.
