Olympic champion Cassandre Beaugrand will compete in the 5,000m at the ASPTT Nice Côte d’Azur meet, scheduled for May 20 at the Charles‑Ehrmann stadium. The Olympic triathlon champion from Paris 2024, competing under the colors of AS Monaco athletics, will participate in an evening dedicated to middle-distance running. Her presence will strengthen the sporting interest of the event and offer regional athletes a rare opportunity to run alongside an international benchmark in an optimized technical setting.

The participation of Cassandre Beaugrand will give particular significance to the race. The triathlete’s track record is built on an Olympic title won in Paris in 2024, several world titles in mixed relay, and a world victory in sprint distance. Major competitions have marked her career for several seasons, with consistent WTCS performances and three Olympic Games participations. Running holds an important place in her trajectory, with a national 5km road record of 14’53” and solid credentials over 10km. This versatility will create a strong benchmark for regional athletes engaged in a progression dynamic. The 5,000m will thus benefit from a sustained pace and direct competition with an athlete accustomed to controlled speeds and demanding race scenarios.

WaveLight, support for the Meeting Nikaïa and preparation for the 50th anniversary edition

The evening will benefit from WaveLight, provided by the Meeting Nikaïa. This technology should make it possible to visually display a precise running pace through an LED system integrated into the track. Access to this tool will provide a favorable environment for performances, qualifying standards, and personal records.

This initiative is part of the dynamic of the 50th anniversary of the Meeting Nikaïa, scheduled for June 13. The link between the Meeting Nikaïa and ASPTT Nice Côte d’Azur structures a shared approach aimed at advancing athletes in the region. The sharing of resources and expertise aims to support clubs, coaches, and competitors in sustainable performance improvement.

The May 20 event will constitute an important step before the anniversary edition. The June 13 date will carry a clear ambition: to propose an international, inclusive sporting event anchored in its territory. The presence of Cassandre Beaugrand will be a real asset in leading up to this Meeting Nikaïa preparation and will place the 5,000m at the center of attention.
