Jérôme lets it all hang out after anchoring France.
Five days before Christmas, our German masters blogger friend
Alfred Hermes posted a photo he discovered while archiving his Lyon shots. When he blew up one image, he found an M40 Frenchman with bib number 3515 showing what Alfred called his
näckisches pleasure. He had run the 4-by-400, which took bronze. The team members were
Jean-Marc Foricher (bib 2314),
Christophe Chevaux (1978),
Mickaël Rince (3241) and
Jérôme Vignat (3515). After being alerted to the image, I advised Alfred I wouldn’t use it without some obscuring device, owing to my sensitivities about the small print of my web-hosting service.
Alfred reposted the shot and wrote: “In order to avoid sensitivities, the blurred image has been re-edited. The inappropriate behavior of No. 3515 is an imposition on the spectators and damages the reputation of Masters Sports.” But he linked to the original photo.
(See it here.) What a hoot.

Gallic spirit can be hard to understand for some foreigners but does not kill at all 😉
What a HOT DOG!
I ran the M65 4×400 in Lyon but somehow all “this” got missed.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned it.
