His disappointment is huge. Tifany Huot-Marchand will return from the Beijing Olympics, without any medal. The speed skater, licensed at ASM Belfort, was however selected for the women’s relay and three individual events, but the success was not there.
After failing in his first two events (500 and 1,000 meters), the 27-year-old north of Franche-Comté hoped to take revenge over 1,500 meters, this Wednesday noon. She finished last in her series in the quarter-finals. However, she wanted to “find it out”. But she failed to tell the difference.
“My heart is brokenshe says, because these games, _it does not represent at all what I can and what I can do_. Physically, I was not ready. It’s difficult.”
At 27, Tifany Huot-Marchand therefore left these Olympic Games empty-handed. She thanks her many supporters for all their messages of support.
She gives them an appointment in four years, at the next Olympic Games in Italy (Milan-Cortina 2026), and hopes to end her season on a better note, at the world championships, in two weeks, in Montreal.
