Nafy Thiam s’offre un record de Belgique à seulement 18 ans
Nafy Thiam (not Nafissatou Thiam) took advantage of her presence at the Tom Jones Memorial Invitational, the track and field meet held Friday in Gainesville, USA, to improve the Belgian record in the shot put. She achieved a new mark of 17.30 meters.
At 18, the Liège native, almost namesake of the Namur native who is a triple Olympic heptathlon champion, was present in Florida where she is pursuing her studies.
She beat the previous record (17.29m) set by Jolien Boumkwo on May 25, 2024 in Halle, Germany, by one centimeter. Boumkwo holds the Belgian indoor record with 17.87m achieved on February 19, 2023 in Ghent.
Nafy Thiam had set her previous personal best of 16.82m on March 27 in Tallahassee, Florida, a new Belgian junior record.
At 18, the Liège native, almost namesake of the Namur native who is a triple Olympic heptathlon champion, is present this year in Florida where she is pursuing her studies.
