A Pierre Quinon room in Nantes

Athletics

A new indoor athletics hall has been inaugurated in Nantes. And it bears the name of Pierre Quinon, the former Olympic pole vault champion, now deceased. This new structure has a 6-lane post, plus an 8-lane straight line, jumping areas and a warm-up area. But its capacity, only 532 seats, will not allow it to host an international meeting or French championships.
