Trail: the French team crushes the Worlds in Innsbruck

The French Benjamin Roubiol and Marion Delespierre became long trail world champions (86.9 km, 6,500 m of elevation gain) on Friday in Innsbruck (Austria), leading the men's and women's collectives to the team titles.

The day after Clémentine Geoffray's gold and the women's on the short trail (45 km, 3,100 m of elevation gain), the Blues won five new medals on Friday, four in gold and one in bronze with 3rd place in the trail runner from Besançon Manon Bohard Cailler.

In 9 hours 52 minutes 59 seconds of effort on a mountainous course in the Austrian Tyrol, Roubiol (23) dominated the Italian Andreas Reiterer (at 7 min 47) and the Slovak Peter Frano (at 9 min 11) in the classification male.

In 11 hours 22 minutes 31 seconds, Delespierre (35) beat the German Katharina Hartmuth (6 min 43) and Manon Bohard Cailler by 11 min 51.

“I am very happy, surprised, very tired. I did not expect to win, I just wanted to do the best possible for the team,” commented the winner at the microphone of the organizer. Favorite and defending champion in the women's event, Blandine L'Hirondel retired at the start of the race.

The Trail and Mountain Running World Championships take place from Wednesday to Saturday in Innsbruck. The classic mountain running format (15km, 750m of elevation gain) is on the program on Saturday.
