Anthony came in 15th place…
…and now he’s speaking out about the mishap.
Anthony told theFrench Athletics Federation, “It’s a big disappointment.”
“The conditions were good. It’s the first time I’ve started a competition without any stress,” hecontinued. “As I was a total outsider, I only had one goal: to play with the audience. I was almost there.”
Well, that’s certainly a bummer but hopefully he’ll get another shot in 2028!
To quote the great movieThe Sandlot, “Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.”
