Unfortunately, Mathilde Amivi Petitjean, the flag bearer of the Togolese delegation at the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, has faced a setback at the start of her competition. Despite her hopes of participating in the KO sprint on Tuesday, she has announced on her Facebook account that she will not be able to compete due to not meeting the necessary qualification points.
However, Mathilde remains optimistic and determined. She reassures her supporters that she will continue to represent Togo proudly and invites them to join her for the 10 km cl race on Thursday, February 13 at 11 a.m. (French time), which she acknowledges will be a tough challenge against the best in the world.
Despite this setback, there is hope that Mathilde will bring glory to Togo by winning a medal. Her participation in the Winter Olympics is already a remarkable achievement for the small West African country, where snow is virtually unknown to most of the population.
