This is what happened Saturday, December 10, 2016 for the young girl Beretta Clemence (FRA), only 19 years old.

Participating to the Regional Championships of the Vosges, in the 3000m indoor track in Vittel (FRA) just to "have the entry standard to Elite French Championships", the walker of Remiremont has imposed on other competitors with the performance of 13:07.78.

But she had not yet realized she had just beaten for more than twenty seconds the Junior (U20) record of France held since 2001 by Melissa Rodriguez (13: 29.17).

"This record was a discovery for me" admitted Clemence Berretta. "I found out like everyone else reading on the website of the French Federation. I was totally aware of." The walker coached by Eddy Riva was expecting a performance around 13:30.

Here are the podiums.
