As the silver medallist in Osaka this summer, Romain Mesnil added his name to the list of French pole vaulters who have taken a medal at the World Championships, after Thierry Vigneron (silver in Rome 1987) and Jean Galfione (bronze in Gothenburg 1995). Now the 30-year-old athlete has set himself the highest ambitions for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, with the aim to join Galfione (1996), Pierre Quinon (1984) and Fernand Gonder (1906) as French Olympic champions in his event.
