Cycling enthusiasts, you are probably watching the World Championships currently being held in Wollongon, Australia. The competition, which started on September 18 and has already seen a big drop or an unexpected seagull attack, will end on Sunday, September 25. But in France, even before the World Championships began, a controversy shook the French Federation. Indeed, most male runners traveled to Australia in business class, while their female counterparts took their seats in economy class. A situation that Jeannie Longo denounced in an interview with our colleagues. Parisian.
“It’s kind of strange, given the evolution of society and the increasingly asserted place of women.”he regretted the entrance. “Machismo is still macho. Going to Australia is a very long journey. So it’s better to stretch your legs. If you leave women curled up in a chair for hours, their chances of winning will be much less, that’s of course”The champion cried. “It’s double punishment. That’s why I’m saying we have to evolve to these gentlemen of the federation. Here, this is an old federation. We must stop belittling women. Use the best tools so women get the best results!”He begged the French runner for 59 national titles.
Criticized for this choice, the French Cycling Federation (FFC) justified itself by increasing travel costs to Australia. “It’s very very expensive. Some countries, like Ireland, have decided not to participate in the World Championships. We asked ourselves if we take all categories, especially youth. We do, but we don’t have the means to put everyone in business.”In statements reported by DTN, defended Christophe Manin AFP.
