A long-distance race against cancer, Anaïs Quemener’s fight

Mascara on the eyelashes and golden glitter scattered around the eyes, Anaïs Quemener goes to the starting line like she is going to the ball, beautifully dressed. This Sunday, September 24, 2023, for the Berlin marathon (Germany), she also hung a red ribbon in her hair, matching her sneakers. A black tank top completes the outfit. He reveals the tattoos on his arms, but hides the scars on his chest.

Cancer stole his chest. But not his legs. The young woman completed the 42.195 km in 2 h 29′ 1′’: a new personal best. Her time remains beyond the Olympic minimums, set at 2:26:50 – Anaïs will not go to the Games in Paris – but she is the first French woman to arrive that day.
