T<\/span>his is the unmissable event of the summer in Chamonix. An impressive crowd crowds around the finish area, but you only have to go to the Fl\u00e9g\u00e8re (live) to see that the fervor hasn’t changed for the trail gods, or those who aim for the podium. In this game, Kilian Jornet simply set the new record of the event, with a time of 19:49, under the mythical bar of 20 hours, a barrier that some considered impossible, while others dreamed of it, like Pau Capell. But the latter was quickly outdistanced by his compatriot, who also left the favorite Jim Walmsley behind at mid-race. The American curse in the men’s UTMB continues, but not in the women’s, as Katie Schide did a magnificent job in her race. We’ll come back to that.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ max_width=”1200px” use_custom_width=”on” custom_width_px=”800px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/alpinemag.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/utmb22-utmb-pb-00-0282.jpg” title_text=”utmb22-utmb-pb-00-0282″ show_in_lightbox=”on” show_bottom_space=”off” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ width=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ text_font=”Merriweather|900|||||||” text_font_size=”16″ custom_margin=”||||false|false” border_style=”solid” saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Men’s : Tom Evans (3th), Jornet (1st), Mathieu Blanchard (2nd)<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ max_width=”800px” use_custom_width=”on” custom_width_px=”800px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n You have to write it down to believe it: 19:49 to complete the UTMB, one hundred seventy kilometers, 9000 meters of elevation gain, it’s incredible. Like the start, which was extremely fast: it was hard to believe that these guys were leaving for twenty, twenty-five hours of racing for the best. This UTMB 2022 will also be remembered as Kilian Jornet’s fourth victory, which equals Fran\u00e7ois D’Haene in terms of number of victories, but probably surpasses him, for the moment, in terms of longevity. Judge for yourself: Kilian Jornet won his first UTMB in 2007, the second in 2008, the third in 2011. In the meantime, Kilian said he would return to the UTMB “when the level is there”.<\/p>\n This year the field was very strong, with serious competitors showing their ambitions: Spaniard Pau Capell and American Jim Walmsley, who lives in the Beaufortain region. But it was not them that Kilian had to worry about, but a Frenchman who finished in an stunning second place, Mathieu Blanchard. Stunning, because the duel between Kilian and Mathieu saw the victory of the former, but also the finish of the latter in an equally unprecedented time of 19:54.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row disabled_on=”|on|on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” vertical_offset_tablet=”0″ max_width=”1200px” saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/alpinemag.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pub-mai22.png” title_text=”pub-mai22″ url=”https:\/\/alpinemag.fr\/abonnement\/” url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row disabled_on=”on|off|off” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” max_width=”1200px” saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/alpinemag.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pub-mai22-desktop.png” title_text=”pub-mai22-desktop” url=”https:\/\/alpinemag.fr\/abonnement\/” url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_padding=”4px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ max_width=”800px” custom_margin=”50px|||” custom_padding=”0|0px|22.796875px|0px|false|false” use_custom_width=”on” custom_width_px=”800″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n A For Kilian, it was not a foregone conclusion. Far from it. American Jim Walmsley had escaped at the end of the night and dominated the race until Champex-Lac. On the climb to La Gi\u00e8te, Walmsley could no longer feed himself, and saw the duo Kilian Jornet \/ Mathieu Blanchard come back on him. The end of the race offered a homeric duel between the Frenchman and the Catalan. In Vallorcine, as he approached the final climb to the T\u00eate aux Vents, Kilian Jornet made a decisive attack. He quickly took several minutes of advantage to take the lead in La Fl\u00e9g\u00e8re, and finally won in 19:49:30. Mathieu Blanchard also finished in under 20 hours (19:54:50).

It’s a moment I’ll keep in my memory. My race management was special. My health was at its limit, and I had to manage that as a priority,” continued Jornet. “I didn’t want to exceed a certain intensity threshold, but I had to go at a constant speed, without accelerating, to avoid crossing that threshold,” explained the Catalan. “When Jim started like crazy on the descent of Arnouva, I tried to follow him, but I quickly gave up, I could not follow, I preferred to stay behind. I had a big setback on the way to Champex. I said to myself: “you go to Champex and we’ll see”. I really thought about giving up at that point. And then Mathieu joined me. And in the end, his return helped me to stay in the race. I tried to keep up with him and he motivated me. In the end, we had a crazy battle, and I put everything on the climbs to hope to catch Mathieu by the finish line.”<\/span><\/p>\n Mathieu Blanchard, for his part, had a glimpse of victory in the objective race of his 2022 season, before losing out to “The ultra-terrestrial” Jornet. “At one point in the race, I saw Kilian in the distance. I even apologized for overtaking him, wished him good luck, accelerated, but he hung on” smiled Mathieu at the finish line. “So, together we went on the hunt for Jim. We pushed each other to the limit, and in the end we managed to do these crazy tempos. I wanted to do 21 hours, I never imagined doing less than 20 hours! Alone, it would have been impossible, but with two of us, in a fight, it became possible. When you’re fighting, you don’t look at the watch anymore. I didn’t expect such a result.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ max_width=”1200px” use_custom_width=”on” custom_width_px=”800px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/alpinemag.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/utmb22-utmb-pb-00-0270.jpg” title_text=”utmb22-utmb-pb-00-0270″ show_in_lightbox=”on” show_bottom_space=”off” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ width=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ text_font=”Merriweather|900|||||||” text_font_size=”16″ custom_margin=”||||false|false” border_style=”solid” saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Frenchman Mathieu Blanchard, 2nd, under 20 hours !<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/alpinemag.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/utmb22-utmb-fo-00-0300.jpg” title_text=”utmb22-utmb-fo-00-0300″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ max_width=”1200px” use_custom_width=”on” custom_width_px=”800px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/alpinemag.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/utmb22-utmb-pb-00-0330.jpg” title_text=”utmb22-utmb-pb-00-0330″ show_in_lightbox=”on” show_bottom_space=”off” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ width=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ text_font=”Merriweather|900|||||||” text_font_size=”16″ text_orientation=”center” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||||false|false” border_style=”solid” saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Brilliant Katie Schide, 1st \u00a9UTMB<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ max_width=”800px” custom_margin=”50px|||” custom_padding=”0|0px|22.796875px|0px|false|false” use_custom_width=”on” custom_width_px=”800″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n In the absence of the title holder Courtney Dauwalter (USA), it was Katie Schide who took her place, winning after 23 hours and 15 minutes of racing. The 31 year old American, who lives in France with her partner Germain Grangier, had a rollercoaster ride. “I got off to a fast start, with a quick lead over my opponents,” explained the geologist by training. “I was more than 15 minutes ahead when I arrived in Courmayeur. It was not really the plan, but in other years, I had started too slowly”.<\/p>\n When she arrived in La Fouly, the American experienced a “downturn”, as one does in this type of effort. Katie Schide let the “storm” pass, putting on a jacket and walking. It was then that a bitter duel was played out with the Canadian Marianne Hogan. The latter came back on Katie Schide and passed her. But the gap was not irreparable. “I started to come back on the climb to Champex. I told myself that a new race was starting, and that three big difficulties remained on the program, so I could come back. That’s what Katie Schide managed to do, to take the lead on the climb to the Bovine Alps, “drop” the Canadian, and head for her first victory, after a 6th place in 2019 and an 8th place in 2021 on the UTMB. His companion Germain Grangier, who had to abandon victim of Covid symptoms, will undoubtedly find a consolation there.

L'UTMB n'est pas le sommet mondial du trail pour rien : les meilleurs coureurs en montagne s'y sont donn\u00e9 une fois de plus rendez-vous. Le gratin mondial s'affronte depuis 19 ans autour des 160 km du tour du Mont-Blanc. \u00c0 ce jeu, Kilian Jornet d\u00e9montre, s'il \u00e9tait besoin, qu'il demeure l'un des athl\u00e8tes les plus exceptionnels de sa g\u00e9n\u00e9ration, en bouclant l'UTMB en 19h49, un record. Chez les femmes, c'est l'exceptionnelle Katie Schide qui remporte le Graal du trail running.<\/strong><\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\"1\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_margin=\"||||false|false\" custom_padding=\"||3px|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.16\" max_width=\"800px\" use_custom_width=\"on\" custom_width_px=\"800px\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_padding=\"|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.17.6\" text_font_size=\"16px\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]\n\n[dropcap size=big]C[\/dropcap]'est le rendez-vous immanquable de l'\u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e0 Chamonix.

Mais ce dernier fut rapidement distanc\u00e9 par son compatriote qui laissa aussi sur place, \u00e0 mi-course, le favori Jim Walmsley. La mal\u00e9diction am\u00e9ricaine chez les hommes sur l'UTMB continue, mais pas chez les femmes, puisque Katie Schide a r\u00e9ussi magnifiquement sa course. On y reviendra.\n\nIl faut l'\u00e9crire pour le croire : 19h49 pour boucler l'UTMB, cent soixante et quelques kilom\u00e8tres, c'est incroyable. Comme le d\u00e9part, qui fut extr\u00eamement rapide : difficile de croire que ces gars partaient pour vingt, vingt-cinq heures de course pour les meilleurs.

Exceptionnelle, car le duel auquel se sont livr\u00e9s Kilian et Mathieu ont vu la victoire du premier, mais \u00e9galement le finish du second en un temps \u00e9galement in\u00e9dit de 19h54.\n\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row disabled_on=\"|on|on\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" vertical_offset_tablet=\"0\" max_width=\"1200px\" global_module=\"225188\" saved_tabs=\"all\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/alpinemag.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pub-mai22.png\" title_text=\"pub-mai22\" url=\"https:\/\/alpinemag.fr\/abonnement\/\" url_new_window=\"on\" _builder_version=\"4.17.3\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row disabled_on=\"on|off|off\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" max_width=\"1200px\" global_module=\"55929\" saved_tabs=\"all\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/alpinemag.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pub-mai22-desktop.png\" title_text=\"pub-mai22-desktop\" url=\"https:\/\/alpinemag.fr\/abonnement\/\" url_new_window=\"on\" _builder_version=\"4.17.3\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\"1\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_margin=\"||||false|false\" custom_margin_tablet=\"\" custom_margin_phone=\"\" custom_margin_last_edited=\"on|desktop\" custom_padding=\"4px||||false|false\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.16\" max_width=\"800px\" custom_margin=\"50px|||\" custom_padding=\"0|0px|22.796875px|0px|false|false\" use_custom_width=\"on\" custom_width_px=\"800\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_padding=\"|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.17.6\" text_font_size=\"16px\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]\n
Le mano a mano de Kilian et Mathieu<\/strong><\/h2>\nPour Kilian, tout ne s'est pas jou\u00e9 d'avance. Loin de l\u00e0. L\u2019Am\u00e9ricain Jim Walmsley s\u2019\u00e9tait \u00e9chapp\u00e9 en fin de nuit en dominant la course jusqu\u2019\u00e0 Champex-Lac. Dans la mont\u00e9e de La Gi\u00e8te, Walmsley n\u2019est plus parvenu \u00e0 s\u2019alimenter, et a vu revenir sur lui le duo Kilian Jornet \/ Mathieu Blanchard. La fin de course a offert un duel hom\u00e9rique entre le Fran\u00e7ais et le Catalan. A Vallorcine, \u00e0 l\u2019approche de l\u2019ultime mont\u00e9e vers la T\u00eate aux Vents, Kilian Jornet a plac\u00e9 une attaque d\u00e9cisive. Il a rapidement pris plusieurs minutes d\u2019avance pour basculer en t\u00eate \u00e0 La Fl\u00e9g\u00e8re, pour l\u2019emporter au final en 19 :49 :30. Mathieu Blanchard finit lui aussi en moins de 20 heures (19:54:50). Kilian devient ainsi le nouveau d\u00e9tenteur du record de la boucle compl\u00e8te en 19 :49 :30.\n\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.16\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_testimonial quote_icon_color=\"#000000\" quote_icon_background_color=\"#ffffff\" _builder_version=\"4.17.6\" body_font=\"Oswald|700||on|||||\" body_text_align=\"center\" body_text_color=\"#000000\" body_font_size=\"30\" use_background_color=\"off\" custom_margin=\"||||false|false\" saved_tabs=\"all\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]\n\nJe n'ai pas eu une minute facile sur cette \u00e9preuve. kilian Jornet\n\n[\/et_pb_testimonial][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.16\" max_width=\"800px\" custom_margin=\"50px|||\" custom_padding=\"0|0px|22.796875px|0px|false|false\" use_custom_width=\"on\" custom_width_px=\"800\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_padding=\"|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.17.6\" text_font_size=\"16px\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]\n\n\u00ab Sur cette \u00e9dition, la m\u00e9t\u00e9o a vraiment \u00e9t\u00e9 parfaite, j'ai pass\u00e9 une nuit g\u00e9niale, m\u00eame si je n'ai pas eu une minute facile sur toute l'\u00e9preuve \u00bb, dira Kilian Jornet. \u00ab Mais ce fut une exp\u00e9rience formidable de partager tous ces kilom\u00e8tres avec Jim et Mathieu. C'est un moment que je vais garder en m\u00e9moire. Ma gestion de course a \u00e9t\u00e9 particuli\u00e8re. Mon \u00e9tat de sant\u00e9 \u00e9tait \u00e0 la limite, et il m'a fallu g\u00e9rer \u00e7a en priorit\u00e9 \u00bb poursuivait Jornet. \u00ab Il ne fallait pas que je d\u00e9passe un certain seuil d'intensit\u00e9, mais que j'aille \u00e0 une vitesse constante, sans acc\u00e9l\u00e9ration, pour \u00e9viter de passer ce seuil \u00bb explique le Catalan. \u00ab Quand Jim est parti comme un fou dans la descente d'Arnouva, j'ai essay\u00e9 de le suivre, mais j'ai vite abandonn\u00e9, je n'arrivais pas \u00e0 suivre, j'ai pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 rester derri\u00e8re. J'ai connu un gros coup de moins bien en direction de Champex. Je me suis dit : \"tu vas jusqu'\u00e0 Champex, et on verra\". J'ai vraiment pens\u00e9 abandonner \u00e0 ce moment-l\u00e0. Et puis Mathieu m'a rejoint. Et au final, son retour m'a aid\u00e9 \u00e0 rester dans la course. J'ai essay\u00e9 de rester dans sa foul\u00e9e, il m'a remotiv\u00e9. Au final, on s'est livr\u00e9 une bataille de fous, et j'ai tout mis\u00e9 sur les mont\u00e9es pour esp\u00e9rer d\u00e9crocher Mathieu d'ici la ligne d'arriv\u00e9e.\"\n\nMathieu Blanchard, lui, aura entraper\u00e7u la victoire sur la course-objectif de sa saison 2022, avant de s'incliner face \u00e0 \"L'ultra-terrestre\" Jornet. \u00ab A un moment de la course, j'ai vu Kilian au loin. Il n'avan\u00e7ait plus. je me suis m\u00eame excus\u00e9 de le doubler, je lui ai souhait\u00e9 bon courage, j'ai acc\u00e9l\u00e9r\u00e9, mais il s'est accroch\u00e9 \u00bb souriait Mathieu sur la ligne d'arriv\u00e9e. \u00ab Alors du coup, ensemble on est all\u00e9 \u00e0 la \"chasse au Jim\". On s'est pouss\u00e9 mutuellement, jusqu'au bout, et au final on r\u00e9ussit ces tempes de dingues. Moi je voulais faire 21 heures, je n'ai jamais imagin\u00e9 faire moins de 20 heures ! Tout seul, c'eut \u00e9t\u00e9 impossible, mais \u00e0 deux, \u00e0 la bagarre, c'est devenu possible. Quand on se tire la bourre, on ne regarde plus la montre.

Katie Schide premi\u00e8re femme<\/strong><\/h2>\nSi la victoire se refuse aux Am\u00e9ricains, elle s\u2019est install\u00e9e depuis plusieurs ann\u00e9es chez leurs compatriotes f\u00e9minines. En l\u2019absence de la tenante du titre Courtney Dauwalter (USA), c\u2019est Katie Schide qui a pris sa succession, en l\u2019emportant au terme de 23h15 de course. La jeune Am\u00e9ricaine de 31 ans, qui vit en France avec son compagnon Germain Grangier, aura v\u00e9cu une course en montagnes russes. \u00ab J\u2019ai pris un d\u00e9part rapide, avec de l\u2019avance rapidement sur mes adversaires \u00bb expliquera la g\u00e9ologue de formation. \u00ab J\u2019avais plus d 15 minutes d\u2019avance en arrivant \u00e0 Courmayeur. Ce n\u2019\u00e9tait pas vraiment le plan, mais les autres ann\u00e9es, j\u2019\u00e9tais parti trop lentement \u00bb.\n\nArriv\u00e9e \u00e0 La Fouly, l\u2019Am\u00e9ricaine vivra un \u00ab coup de moins bien \u00bb comme on en vit sur ce type d\u2019effort. Katie Schide laissait passer \u00ab l\u2019orage \u00bb, en enfilant une veste, et en marchant. C\u2019est alors qu\u2019un \u00e2pre duel allait se jouer avec la Canadienne Marianne Hogan. Cette derni\u00e8re revenait sur Katie Schide et la d\u00e9passait. Mais sans que l\u2019\u00e9cart ne soit irr\u00e9m\u00e9diable. \u00ab J\u2019ai commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 revenir dans la mont\u00e9e de Champex. Je me suis dit qu\u2019une nouvelle course commen\u00e7ait, et que trois grosses difficult\u00e9s restaient au programme, et donc que je pouvais revenir \u00bb. C\u2019est ce que Katie Schide parviendra \u00e0 faire, pour reprendre la t\u00eate dans la mont\u00e9e des alpages de Bovine, \u00ab d\u00e9poser \u00bb la Canadienne, et filer vers sa premi\u00e8re victoire, apr\u00e8s une 6e place en 2019 et une 8e place en 2021 sur l\u2019UTMB. Son compagnon Germain Grangier, qui a d\u00fb abandonner victime de sympt\u00f4mes du Covid, y trouvera sans doute une consolation. Ce samedi soir, plus de deux mille coureurs sont encore en course.\n\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[10,21],"tags":[77,530],"class_list":["post-58077","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alps","category-running","tag-trail-running","tag-utmb"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58077","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58077"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58077\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":58092,"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58077\/revisions\/58092"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58078"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58077"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58077"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alpinemag.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
