Asunción 2026: two titles and major revelations

ODYTA Summary

Yann Guyader faced a difficult first major global campaign in that role. He arrived amid South American enthusiasm shortly after the "Bleus" took second place at the 2026 European Championships in Cardano al Campo. France competed in the track races but not the road circuit. According to the source, the road circuit recorded a large number of falls from the first day of competition and was considered too dangerous, with poorly finished asphalt and two 180-degree turns. Citing that skaters' safety should never be endangered, France and other nations reportedly stood in solidarity and declined to take part in the road races, except for the 100 m event and the marathon.
