18 Périgord athletes will play their finals
There are therefore 18 Périgord and Périgord runners qualified for their respective finals. 18 representatives of the Dordogne who validated their ticket for the final. Moreover, in the medal table of New Aquitaine titles, the Dordogne ranks 2nd best department in the medal ranking. An excellent record for a sparsely populated department. Young people particularly stood out. Manon Agostini and Pierre Bondy are aiming for a top 10 in their respective finals and Cyan Galtier Villa is hoping for a medal and his coaches are hoping for a ranking in the top 5.
