Annette Sergent Biography

Annette Sergent is one of the most popular and richest Marathon Runner who was born on November 17, 1962 in Chambéry, Auvergne-Rhône- Alpes, France. Annette Sergent (born 17 November 1962) is a French former long distance athlete. She was a national representative three times in the Summer Olympics however it was in cross-country running that she achieved the most achievement. She was the very first Frenchwoman to be awarded an international title in the sport in 1987 at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships and then won the title for the two-time in the year 1989. In addition to winning these championships she competed in 11 events at the competition , and was third both in 1986 and 1988.

The fifth time in a row that the French cross-country championship was won in

1989. At 1989’s IAAF World Cross Country Championships she was back at an enviable position on the list winning the gold medal and leading France into the team’s runner-up position, just to that of the Soviet team. The injury she sustained forced her to being out for the remainder of the season. She returned to the action at the 1990 IAAF World Cross Country Championships which took place in Aix-les-Bains. She wasn’t fully recovered however, and came in 17th overall. She took part in a 10,000-meter race during the 1990 European Athletics Championships in Split and won the Bronze medal (her first race on track) and an all-new French record in the time of 31:51.68 minutes. Following the track season, she went out on the roads and took the 3km race in the Giro Podistico Internazionale di Pettinengo in Italy.

Her principal race of 1991 came over 10,000 m at the 1991 World Championships in Athletics. Although she qualified easily with a run 31:55.97 minutes, she could not match this form in the final, in which she finished 19th and was over a minute slower. Sergent’s career began to decline and in 1992 she came 27th at the 1992 World Cross Country race and failed to make it out of the 10,000 m heats at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. She was part of the bronze medal-winning women’s team at the 1993 IAAF World Cross Country Championships, but it was Farida Fatès who led the team while Sergent finished in 34th place. At the 1993 World Championships in Athletics she was eliminated in the heats of the 3000 m in her third and final appearance at the competition. She did not end the season empty handed, however, as at the 1993 Mediterranean Games, held on home turf in Languedoc-Roussillon, she took the silver medal over 3000 m.

An 89th-place finish at the 1994 World Cross Country was a career low, but she improved the year after to come 19th in the 1995 World long race. She also won her seventh (and last) French Cross Country Championship With women now competing over 5000 m at the outdoor world championships, she had to enter at the 1995 IAAF World Indoor Championships to compete in her specialist 3000 m event and she managed eighth in the final. Sergent ran at the 2nd European Cross Country Championships in December and came sixth, helping the French women’s team to third in the team rankings.

Sergent won her first title in the world in 1987 at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships in 1987, beating Liz Lynch by two seconds. She also guided women French ladies to second place in the team rankings , behind those of the United States (led by Lynn Jennings). The first time she competed during the 1987 World Championships in Athletics followed and she was just a hair short of the final and finished seventh in her heat. The 1988 season started with a win at the Cinque Mulini cross-country meet and also the French Championship race. In the World Cross Championships in Auckland she was not able to keep her title, but did earn an award for the third consecutive year winning team and individual bronze medals at the race that was long. On the track, she established national records in both the 3000m and 10,000 m. She made the finals in both of these events during the 1988 Seoul Olympics and finished in the 12th and 19th positions respectively. In 1988, she was ranked second in the 5000m race during the IAAF Grand Prix Final, coming in second place behind British athlete Liz McColgan.

Over the course of her career she set a variety of French records that ranged from the mile run up to 10,000 meter. The first time she broke the national record was set in 1985, in which she ran a speed in the range of 8:52.32 minutes for 3000 m. She increased this time to 8:50.56 in the next month, and defeated the record of Patricia Deneuville’s French mile record one month later (registering the time as 4:39.35 minutes). In July of 1986, she cut three and two-and-a-half seconds off her 3000-meter time and set a record of 5:39.00 minutes for the 2000 m. Then she beat Joelle De Brouwer’s record for the 5000 m record by more than twenty seconds setting a new benchmark of 15:32.92 minutes. Another two improvement over 3000m and 5 000 m were recorded during 1988 with times that were 8:44.19 and 15:18.24 minutes, respectively. The athlete also defied Christine Loiseau’s time record over 10,000 m in the same year. In 1990, she was able to run 15:16.44 minutes to cover the 5k m race that was to be her last national record over this distance. The time of 31:51.68 minutes in that year’s European Championships made her the first Frenchwoman to complete the race in less than 32 minutes. While her time of 2000 meters is still the fastest time run by an French athlete, all of her times in the other races weren’t in a long time: her 3000 meters was broken by Marie-Pierre Duros after a year and her 10,000 m record was broken by Rosario Murcia after two years her 5000m mark was broken after 4 years by Farida Fates after four years.

In 1985, she reclaimed the two track titles she had won in her country and began to establish herself in cross-country running. Sergent took the first out of seven French cross-country titles that year, and was ranked 17th in the overall standings at 1985’s IAAF World Cross Country Championships. On October 10, she took home the top prize in the road race at the 10K Foulees de Suresnes. In the edition in 1986, she took home her first medals at the international level at the end of the marathon, securing bronze medals for teams and individual events. Her first track appearance in continental France took place in the 1986 European Athletics Championships in Stuttgart and, despite being eliminated in the 1500m heats meters, she was able to finish eighth place in the final of the women’s 3000m race.

Her sole major track medal came over 10,000 metres at the 1990 European Athletics Championships, where she was the bronze medallist. She was also a 3000 m silver medallist at the 1993 Mediterranean Games. Over her career, she competed at the World Championships in Athletics on three occasions.
