Integrated into the senior team for the World France thanks to her recent good performance, Stella Akakpo enjoys but does boast up. “I really was surprised. My coach taught me while I was trying to train. I still went to check the list to see if it was true. I am happy to participate in the World championships. I will honor my first selection in the seniors. Now I keep my head on my shoulders and my feet on earth, “says the new female darling of the hex sprint to athle.fr.

In Moscow, the Franco-Togolese sprinter has one goal: break the record of France junior in the 100m. A performance from which she has not gone away in the last European junior championships. Despite her coronation Akakpo failed one hundredth of the record of France by Odiah Sidibé: “I’m going out there to gain maximum experience. I’d like to see the high level. I’ll try not to take my head and run with relax. I have nothing to lose but everything to gain. Running alongside great sprinters, it’s really an honor. After that, if the conditions are there, maybe I can fix myself a target time trying to beat the record of France junior 100 m”.

The girl that also has her share of Martinique origins from her mother, believes that her season is already a success no matter what happens at the World Championships in Moscow. “This season is a good cake, and the selection for the World championships, is the little cherry on the top”, confided Akakpo.
