Can you provide an update on the current state of African athletics in light of recent international sporting events ?

It is an honor for me to answer your questions and to be one of the first to be approached in the context of this new communication program of the African Athletics Confederation.
Regarding the technical situation of athletics in Africa, we have seen constant progress in recent years. Indeed, Africa is one of the last continents to have emerged in the global athletics arena. For decades, Africa was virtually absent from the podiums, and it was very difficult for an African athlete to win a medal or to be among the best in the world. Today, this has become possible and is increasingly being confirmed.
Over the past two or three decades, Africa has gained a certain notoriety in several events, to the point where many believed that these events were reserved for Africans only. This situation has led to the naturalization of a significant number of African athletes who now represent non-African nationalities. This phenomenon deserves analysis.
