Big blow for the recent decathlon world champion at the start of the European Athletics Championships.
Engaged this Monday morning in the third series of the 100 meters, Kevin Mayer was stopped in the middle of the race due to pain.
He managed to cross the line last (in 11.67). But the pain and worry that could be read on his face portend the worst for the athlete who was one of the greatest chances for a tricolor medal.
