Athletics/Failliot/Racing/Olympic Games/Women's sports/Rugby. Amazing booklet of 62 pages signed by the great versatile athlete Pierre Failliot (1889-1935)....Ici, with his superb portrait on the front page, the Centralien speaks to us only about "La Course à pied" (athletics, know how to breathe, etc)...He, who was a monster of eclecticism and power (1m81, 90kg), multiple French track and field champion, record holder of the 400, French military champion with 22 events won in the same day, 8 times international football-rugby (we owe him the victory over Scotland in 1911, he scored two tries and made prowess in defense), and vice-champion of France with the Racing Club de France 1912, here, he still makes sparks fly and with humorHis considerations on the Olympic Games of 1912, which he participated in, as well as a virulent opposition to the practice of women are worth the detour, in addition to good practical advice.16,5x11.
