A school PE test is what started it all for Bosson Greccy Hillary. The 17-year-old Ivorian sprinter traces her entire athletic journey back to that single moment, and now she is preparing to compete in the 100 metres at the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games.
For Hillary, the goal goes far beyond just showing up. She carries a dream of writing her name into the history of athletics, the kind of ambition that turns a young girl's classroom moment into something much bigger.
Dakar 2026 will be her stage. Watch this space.
