The 4x100m men’s relay of the French athletics team passed the series milestone on Friday at the World Championships in Budapest, and will compete in the final on Saturday.

Meba-Mickael Zézé, Pablo Mateo, Ryan Zézé and Mouhamadou Fall finished in 4th place in their series in 37 sec 98, behind the United States, Jamaica and Japan.

The Blues were drafted on time and will see the final, as in Eugene (Oregon, United States) last year, where they were disqualified.

The quartet still has room for improvement, after missing the last handover on Friday, and represents one of the last chances of a medal for the French team, still stuck at zero in Budapest.
