In Montreal in 1976, Guy Drut won this Olympic gold after which Michel Jazy
ran, in vain, all his life.
The former Minister of Youth and Sports in the Alain Juppé government (between May 1995 and June 1997) triumphed in the 110 m hurdles where sixteen years earlier, Jazy had failed, settling for the silver medal on 1 500 m at the Rome Olympics in 1960. The two men, originally from Hauts-de-France, remained close throughout their lives.
They were born in the same street, in Oignies (Pas-de-Calais).
