Congratulations to Aurélien Quinion on claiming the bronze medal in the marathon race walk (42.195 km) at the 2026 European Athletics Championships in Birmingham! 🥉🇫🇷

At 33, the Paris-born athlete captures his first international championship medal, securing the only podium finish for the French race walking team at these championships.

Over such a demanding distance, this performance stands as a testament to years of dedication, mental fortitude, and resilience at the elite level. Having walked alongside him in training sessions with coach Denis Langlois, I have witnessed his discipline and fighting mindset up close.

A solid, disciplined, and inspiring achievement that sets a promising trajectory for future international competitions.

Well done, Aurélien!
