FRENCH BASE
He spent two months training in France in 2018, then later returned to France [Lille] with the help of a scholarship from the National Olympic and Sports Committee of Mali. "In the career of an athlete, there is a time when you have to go out to discover other things. Although there were competitions in Mali, I had to leave to reach other horizons. I admit that in Mali all the conditions are not there to go higher. Even here [France], not all the conditions are met, but they are much better than those in Mali. Training structures and materials are not at all the same. In France, there are a lot of stronger athletes and I can compete with them in order to improve my performance and my time. It is because of this that I went to France to be much more efficient because there is more competition here." (maliweb.net, 13 Mar 2021)
