A hundredth of a second was the difference for Olympian veteran, Bassa Mawem, finishing in dramatic style to beat Ukraine’s Yaroslav Tkach. The Frenchman’s return from a serious bicep injury sustained at this stage in 2020, and a personal best time of 5.16 seconds in his last-ever competition, earned the respect of the other climbers, as they warmly embraced him, celebrating his memorable qualification together. It's magic when the world comes together at the Olympic Games. #CocaColaParis2024 #P
