French athlete Méline Rollin beat the French marathon record on Sunday in Seville in 2 h 24 min 12 sec, erasing Christelle Daunay who had held this record since 2010 (2 h 24 min 22).
A few minutes after Morhad Amdouni, who also exploded his own French record on Sunday over the distance, the 25-year-old Frenchwoman finished eighth among the women and also has a big option for the Olympic selection.
