Heidi Gaugain, 17 and from Saint-Georges-sur-Erve in the Coëvrons, fulfilled her goal during the world championships of track para-cycling which took place all this week on the national velodrome of Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines .
The one who trains at the Espoir para-cycling center in Bayonne won two medals: the first on Friday, October 21 during the individual pursuit. The second Saturday evening on the combined event of the omnium. The regularity of the Mayennaise allows him to finish on the third step of the podium behind her compatriot, Marie Patouillet. Heudi Gaugain took 7th place in the disputed scratch over 10 kilometers. On Thursday, the track girl, born without a left forearm, took 5th place in the 200 meters running then 8th place in the 500 meters event, standing start.
Last August, the Coëvrons cyclist had won two world titles in Israel, at the Junior World Championships of track cycling, among the able-bodied.
There are a little less than two years left for Heidi Gaugain to continue to progress and hope to participate in the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. But the Mayennaise has reason to be very confident.
