France is very proud of Christophe, because first of all he is humble, had to face difficulties, and is a very good person before being excellent in his sport
Nothing but respect for this man. These achievements are a testament to his talent and grit. Can't imagine how many times he must have been told it was impossible for an athlete of European decent to break those barriers. He really outdid the perceived standard. What a legend.
@@LIL_flipsI definitely agree. Su is up there with Lamaitre as another standard defying sprinter. His start at the Tokyo Olympics still leaves me in awe every time I rewatch it
It's not just his colour, it's his body as well. He's so slight compared to all other sprinters, which makes his achievements even more impressive. Based on their body shapes I sometimes wonder whether him and Allyson Felix were two of the only ones not on steroids.
I'm a white 15 year old i'm making this comment now so in 4 years when I graduate highschool I can be reminded how far I've come I'm going to be in one of these videos i swear.
@@danielbrown3461 bet your fun to be around but I’m ngl bro looking back at my comment. why did I think I was the main character fr 💀 Still think I got it tho
Merci Christophe Lemaître de m'avoir fait rêver en athlétisme et surtout au 100 mètres, grâce à lui la France vibrée pendant toutes ces compétitions. Un grand champion.
I loved watching Christophe's career. A caste buster was how he was sometimes described - but in reality it just showed that " if you've got it, you've got it"! Diversity is exciting
Whenever I watch videos such as this, makes me feel slow. Need for speed. Congrats to him, I'm sure this moment will stick out in his mind for the rest of his life. Great channel by the way. Thanks for spreading positivity.
Just to note : Marie-Jose Perec was "the First Fench Athlete to medal in the 200m since 1960" you didn't state gender or colour there, so I thought I'd point that out 🎉
this is such a one sided ridiculous argument... my daughters all run track and we are literally the only white family at the meets with exceptions of maybe 2 or three other families... the amount of blacks that start there kids in track is astronomical in regards to the numbers of other races of people that's the reason they dominate. my daughters first year in track and they were getting top 3 every meet one even made it to jr O. if more races actually ran track you would see more races dominating...the fastest 60 Meters is ran by a short Chinese guy I mean come on this race talk has to stop already... just like in any other sport hockey for instance you don't say blacks suck at hockey because they are black they just simply do not grow up playing it... if more blacks played you would see more in the NHL its common sense. its like saying blacks are not intelligent just because they don't hold the majority of positions like drs, lawyers, engineers and so on... its simply cultural differences that's all. if more blacks were to try to go for those jobs there would be more in the field and if more white people started running track then you would see more in the sport and thus see more white champions its common sense, I hope someone out there catches my drift... its a numbers game ps Mac mcclung has more vertical then anyone in the NBA as does all the other pro white dunkers like Jordan kilganon etc. so that myth of whites can't jump has been busted as well...
A very good point! It is the same reason why Chinese dominate in table tennis or that there are very few black elite swimmers ... Cultural differences! -But I would also like to add that black people in general are growing up poor and therefore cannot afford expensive schools, thus the difference in certain jobs that might require higher degrees of education. Just like few black families can afford to send their kids to practice golf (Tiger Woods being the only exception!) or other expensive sports. Ice hockey for example requires a lot of expensive equipment. Then we have the fact that having to run a marathon just to get to school - one way - and then back! Or to get a bucket of water ... through savannah and scorching heat ... probably barefoot! That should make for a good foundation in stamina "training" ...
You thought you did something, huh, first of all, most black people don't run track that's the first thing, so most out of it, especially here in Jamaica, most aren't even in a sport, you battling against a small portion of blacks, don't even get my started on Africa, cause see out of nowhere gout gout becomes the fastest teen in history, from Africa not Jamaica or UK or us or wherever else, Africa what's that's tell you, you make no sense, vertical doesn't translate to athleticism, that's the next key point to keep in mind, besides you said the pro Whyte have more vertical on what planet 😂😂😂😂😂 dude the most vertical in the NBA is Michael Jordan, and it's not just vertical that dude was blessed with, he was just simply built different as to why everyone even till this day is still trying to compare to him, you speak of pro Whyte, not talking about even then the blacks still hail above them, 😂😂😂😂😂 it's not different than genetics cause y'all age faster than every race in planet earth, so what now is that a myth too, y'all have a bigger population than the blacks and the blacks still owns y'all, 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 not to mention bro Africa and other diaspora of blacks haven't even gotten into many of these sports yet, y'all struggling against 99% black Americans 😂😂😂😂😂 to the point it has gotten to where only blacks begin to battle blacks, now blacks are seeking to out do each other's records. You obviously don't understand black people at all.
Ill offer a different perspective I am a lifelong basketball fan. There has never been a white player who was an elite athlete - literally NEVER (compared to other NBA athletes). And basketball is played by many white people. During last 50 years there should have been at least ONE white elite athlete, but there isnt.... Its genetics
On ne lui rend pas hommage à sa juste valeur, il est un immense champion blanc qui s'est mesuré aux meilleurs champions blacks , c'est une légende humble de l'athlétisme, bravo !
Alan Wells from Scotland, representing Great Britain won the Olympic gold medal in 1980 in the 100 metres. Russian Sprinter Valeriy Borzov won Olympic gold medals in the 100 & 200 metres in 1972. Along with Pietro Mennea were the white sprinters that came to mind when watching this video.
There is no such thing as 'race' in humans. The 'differences' are familial, like the differences between 'short' and 'long' distance thoroughbreds or early or late runners - NOT like the differences between, say, a thoroughbred and a Morgan.
he was a hero of mine and he certainly had a winner's mind. But he'd be a few metres off Christophe's pace. Alan's 10.11 PB came at a time a sub 10 was only just starting to be expected. Then Carl Lewis and Calvin Smith got it moving along
It was all a matter of time thats all congrats 👏🏽👏🏽💯 i not surprised but i honestly respect and congratulate him.. i feel like each race of people well shine to top like this all in due time so yes this is a huge .and it shows no matter what race you are you can make history!💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I like talking about that, i dont know why ppl get offended, there is a reason why sprinting is dominated by black ppl and there is also a reason why swiming is dominated by white ppl, but as soon as you point out that some physical traits are more commonly find in this or that race you are label as a racist who whants to break ppl dreams of becoming whatever they imagine, even if they arent well equiped, i think it just feed their delusions
Sprinting is how fast the neuron can fire(Neuron Conduction Velocity). The muscle will fire as fast as the brain allows it. The temporal sequencing of the fire of the muscle fibers is key. So brain power. That’s why age slows down the athlete, the brain ages. I’m curious to find out if the fastest sprinters has a more developed temporal region of the brain.
Ive been on the track seen since 1968. I peaked between 72-81.i turned coach after that. When i received Most Valuable in '73 I ran the same as what I just saw. The training method was so different that in the relay I was head to head with the fastest as was able to pull away. The training made anyone with white genetics into black and beyond. To prevent injury required special supplements, massage, rest strategy and physical training never seen before. It is possible to tap into a level of speed and power that borders the supernatural.
How the hell did this vid not include Armin Hary?! Way back in 1960, this German athlete was the first man (black, yellow or white) to run a 10 second 100 meters. The world seems to have forgotten Hary, and even Google seems mainly interested in sub-10 second 100 meter runners.
Valeriy Borzov was the first European dominant sprinter winning the 100 & 200 M at the '72 Munich Olympics although with a controversy in the 100M. In the 1969 Euro Championships he ran 10 flat in the 100M. He was the first to ever do it‼( I stand corrected)‼
Armin Hary is the first ever human to run 10 flat in 100 m when he established the new 100 m WR in 1960. Hary is also the last white man to establish a world record in 100 meters flat. Borzov in '72 Munich got lucky when the top 3 American sprinters missed the bus to get to the Olympic Stadium.
@@danbotez1307 Wow ! Great info. 2 Americans - Hart & Robinson missed their heats. **Taylor didn't & reached the final finishing 2nd for Silver.**One will never know what would have occurred if the other Americans were in the final.
@danielbrown3461 Bro, what are you talking about? This video is about SPRINTING. Secondly, do you think Bolt's and other black sprinters' achievements are due to DEI? Are you okay? Get well soon.
Because the outcome for athletics, etc, is easily measurable. How do you measure intelligence? You think a group of ppl good at inventing material stuff but not smart enough to reproduce their own is really intelligent?
I’m French and me and my family use to watch him in international competitions. We never mentioned his skin color as it doesn’t impact sprinting and he was representing France really well
That’s inspiring to see! It is good that black athletes, after experiencing discrimination, have now found so much success. But the pendulum swung too far, with many white athletes being dismissed for their skin color, especially in track, basketball, boxing, American football. More and more impressive white athletes have been ignoring race and finding success, however. I hope to see the world become more and more colorblind, more and more focused on the individual.
In America, if they hadn't been lynching Blacks from trees, not allowing them in hotels, restaurants, swimming pools, quality education, etc...today...they would be our world champions in skiing, swimming, and leaders in Medicine, Astronomy, chemistry, Physics, Business, etc. It was female Black Americans that were the mathematicians for NASA and which helped get a White Male American on the moon. You never hear that one do you.
However genetic is highly important, people are not equal at birth, french philosoph Voltaire said "Education can enhance faculties but not created them"
The only white sprinter the held/co-held a world record was Paul Nash of South Africa that equalled the then world record of 10.00 sec FOUR times in 1968.
Bobby Morrow and David Sime were outstanding white sprinters. Morrow won Olympic gold at 100m in 1952. Sime ran 20 flat 200m, a world record at the time. But the black sprinters will always have a genetic advantage, no matter how hard the white guys train.
Western Australia, May 1915. 18-year-old Archy Hamilton (Mark Lee) is an idealistic young Australian rancher with a talent for running sprints. He is trained in sprinting by his uncle Jack (Bill Kerr) and idolizes Harry Lascelles, the world champion who ran a 100 yard sprint in less then 10 seconds. A Real inspiration to us all.
as a 65 year old white American it's always been black guys who ran the fastest, but the thing is even though the white guy might come in last , he came in last to the fastest guy in the world by around 0,27 seconds. btw, i'm rather stunned by the first words in this video, speaking about genes etc. i mean everyone always knew it but you could never say it !
Thanks for your interesting comment Paul! I understand that this video touches on some sensitive topics and can be considered "controversial", but my intention was to present the facts as they are, even if it's a discussion that hasn’t been openly addressed much.
@@MisterFilOfficial i can dig it , track was never my sport but i just watched it in slo mo and counted his steps, it seems whoever takes the most steps wins, i imagine the research and technique must be paramount in todays sports, an old football player from the 40/50,s said the heaviest weight he ever lifted was a 16oz. beer.
Must be noted that he was also one of the very few PED-free at this level at that time. Jamaica's performances are not only due to skin color... Same for Trinidad, and US, that actually have some controls, also have a long list of convictions.
wow!, this narrator is saying the quiet part out oud, i'm 65 years old and white sprinters never stood a chance my whole life and now their more than competitive, white girls especially,
But I thought we were all the same and equal in all aspects. At least that’s what all my high school and college professors taught me in every class. Why are you telling me now that black sprinters have a genetic advantage?
No amount of training, determination, or access to resources will help if you do not have a high enough ratio of fast twitch muscles to slow twitch muscles
What can one say with certainty other than black sprinters have an inherent advantage, always have. There are a lot of white sprinters who are just a trifle slower than the blacks but still very fast, but never enough to dominate on the world stage. Lamaitre was certainly very fast, and worked very hard to be his best, but could never achieve dominance over the blacks on the world stage. It's just a fact of life and genetics. Thanks for posting this very interesting subject.
White Woman Sprinters have been doing quite well. For the White men...Pietro menaia from Italy was a World Record Holder....and Valery Borza But White Woman have been doing very well. Also in the High Jump...whites have had many world record holders and they can indeed jump. They just can't say it because of Diversity Equity and inclusion.
I understand the confusion! In this context, when I mention "white sprinter", I am referring to athletes not of African descent. I included him as his achievement stands out. Thanks for pointing that out though!
I guess Su Bingtian is a great example of not letting the notion of great sprinters needing to be black hold him back. I mean, whoever would have thought a rather short Asian man could run 9.83 - a caste buster then, and an example to young Chinese athletes
Beh sicuramente ci è andato molto vicino, ma dubito che anche se non fosse stato colpito dall'infortunio avrebbe fatto un tempo migliore. Mennea rimane il re dei 200m in Europa e lo sarà ancora per qualche anno almeno.
One attains fast twitch muscles, tendons and ligaments by weight lifting and stretching, and a faster heart beat which results in faster blood flow throughout the physical body!!!
Nice, but you forgot Konstantinos "Kostas" Kenteris, the Greek athlete who won gold medals in the 200 metres at the 2000 Summer Olympics, the 2001 World Championships in Athletics and the 2002 European Championships in Athletics, making him the only European sprinter (along with Linford Christie) to win the gold medal in all three major competitions and the only European World Champion in the 200 metres races. Additionally, he has won two gold, three silver and two bronze medals in the European Cup.
You said it yourself. Almost ALL of the most successful sprinters have origins in West Africa. Not North, Central, East or Southern Africa. Furthermore... 'negritos' (black Asians) are regularly beaten by other asians at sprints. So this 'Black vs White' question is an over simplified stereotype. Its like asking why Japanese are so much better at Sumo wrestling than Europeans. Is it due to race? Obviously not.
What was great about Christophe is that he looked like nothing special, no big muscles, no tanned skin , no special hair cut but a weird moustache , he was never showing off like all the other athletes especially the 100m discipline, and he even had a lisp ! But best of the best is ironically his name : Christophe Le maitre means Christophe the master.... So french 😅
@@bergkampdennis5673 hahaha that 's an interesting point of view. For most of european people having a tanned skin instead of a white skin is a good thing, because it makes us feel healthier, or simply more beautiful. But you are right , these are very subjective point of views .
Before steroids took over athletics in the 1980's, there was no color barrier on winners. Steroids then took over, especially among socioeconomically deprived groups. Why? A new rule took over: Winning = $$$. The rest is history.
many white dudes before the 80s won gold.... Armin hary gold 1960 even had the world record.. Bobby morrow gold 100m in 1956 melbourne , Remigino gold in 1952 further back before 1932 they were all white...
I think Percy Williams of 1928 to 1930 was faster as he won Gold in the 1928 Olympics in both the 100m and 200m! The 1st man to run a 10.3 100 meters in 1930. You get him new shoes on a MODERN TRACK...train him to use Blocks for 1 year and he'd be 0.5 seconds faster at 9.8 for the 100m at least.
This Asian Man Achieved The Impossible! ⬇⬇⬇⬇

So, we can concede genes affect sprinting, but not intelligence, behavior and other traits?
Because the outcome for athletics, etc, is easily measurable. How do you measure intelligence? You think a group of ppl good at inventing material stuff but not smart enough to reproduce their own is really intelligent?
Christophe est une bizarrerie physiologique 👍
Thank you for sharing his covid shot injury
I’m French and me and my family use to watch him in international competitions. We never mentioned his skin color as it doesn’t impact sprinting and he was representing France really well
Skin color actually does play apart in sports
@@michaelmayers3622 not performance wise
@@iitzkotaro obviously not literal skin color, but genetic background
@@eddiesmith7867 yea your morphology plays a big role
@@michaelmayers3622 It actually doesn't. unless you think places like Tamil Nadu are just sleeping...
That’s inspiring to see! It is good that black athletes, after experiencing discrimination, have now found so much success. But the pendulum swung too far, with many white athletes being dismissed for their skin color, especially in track, basketball, boxing, American football. More and more impressive white athletes have been ignoring race and finding success, however. I hope to see the world become more and more colorblind, more and more focused on the individual.
Do White Distance Runners Face Discrimination while running in Africa? The Answer is yes....but it is not mentioned.
In America, if they hadn't been lynching Blacks from trees, not allowing them in hotels, restaurants, swimming pools, quality education, etc...today...they would
be our world champions in skiing, swimming, and leaders in Medicine, Astronomy, chemistry, Physics, Business, etc. It was female Black Americans
that were the mathematicians for NASA and which helped get a White Male American on the moon. You never hear that one do you.
However genetic is highly important, people are not equal at birth, french philosoph Voltaire said "Education can enhance faculties but not created them"
if you are the fastest, your color doesn't count
The only white sprinter the held/co-held a world record was Paul Nash of South Africa that equalled the then world record of 10.00 sec FOUR times in 1968.
Bobby Morrow and David Sime were outstanding white sprinters. Morrow won Olympic gold at 100m in 1952. Sime ran 20 flat 200m, a world record at the time. But the black sprinters will always have a genetic advantage, no matter how hard the white guys train.
Western Australia, May 1915. 18-year-old Archy Hamilton (Mark Lee) is an idealistic young Australian rancher with a talent for running sprints. He is trained in sprinting by his uncle Jack (Bill Kerr) and idolizes Harry Lascelles, the world champion who ran a 100 yard sprint in less then 10 seconds.
A Real inspiration to us all.
100 yards isnt the same as meters dumbass this story is cap
So was Emile Zatopek...."won't mention his race" to all runners.
Du talent, mais aussi beaucoup d'entrainement !...
as a 65 year old white American it's always been black guys who ran the fastest, but the thing is even though the white guy might come in last , he came in last to the fastest guy in the world by around 0,27 seconds. btw, i'm rather stunned by the first words in this video, speaking about genes etc. i mean everyone always knew it but you could never say it !
Thanks for your interesting comment Paul! I understand that this video touches on some sensitive topics and can be considered "controversial", but my intention was to present the facts as they are, even if it's a discussion that hasn’t been openly addressed much.
@@MisterFilOfficial i can dig it , track was never my sport but i just watched it in slo mo and counted his steps, it seems whoever takes the most steps wins, i imagine the research and technique must be paramount in todays sports, an old football player from the 40/50,s said the heaviest weight he ever lifted was a 16oz. beer.
I think differences in thoughts and believes play a role in goals.
Must be noted that he was also one of the very few PED-free at this level at that time. Jamaica's performances are not only due to skin color... Same for Trinidad, and US, that actually have some controls, also have a long list of convictions.
What about Kostas Kenteris?
wow!, this narrator is saying the quiet part out oud, i'm 65 years old and white sprinters never stood a chance my whole life and now their more than competitive, white girls especially,
But I thought we were all the same and equal in all aspects. At least that’s what all my high school and college professors taught me in every class.
Why are you telling me now that black sprinters have a genetic advantage?
OMG YOU RACIST OMG
statistics dont lie - sprinting is about genetics
No amount of training, determination, or access to resources will help if you do not have a high enough ratio of fast twitch muscles to slow twitch muscles
What can one say with certainty other than black sprinters have an inherent advantage, always have. There are a lot of white sprinters who are just a trifle slower than the blacks but still very fast, but never enough to dominate on the world stage. Lamaitre was certainly very fast, and worked very hard to be his best, but could never achieve dominance over the blacks on the world stage. It's just a fact of life and genetics. Thanks for posting this very interesting subject.
How about the Pole Vault and Shot Put? If you are going to be trivial mention these 2 events and White Domination.
@@danielbrown3461 The whole article is about SPRINTING. That's what I replied to.
@@snivelinj7612 Not womans sprinting.
Or transgender sprinting.
White Woman Sprinters have been doing quite well. For the White men...Pietro menaia from Italy was a World Record Holder....and Valery Borza But White Woman have been doing very well. Also in the High Jump...whites have had many world record holders and they can indeed jump. They just can't say it because of Diversity Equity and inclusion.
Jeremy Wariner was another too
Why Su bingtian if we are talking about a white sprinter lol 😂
I understand the confusion! In this context, when I mention "white sprinter", I am referring to athletes not of African descent. I included him as his achievement stands out. Thanks for pointing that out though!
@@MisterFilOfficial that has zero logic
@@UncleSheev You're right
I guess Su Bingtian is a great example of not letting the notion of great sprinters needing to be black hold him back. I mean, whoever would have thought a rather short Asian man could run 9.83 - a caste buster then, and an example to young Chinese athletes
@@UncleSheev Chill out.
Mennea disse che Lamaitre avrebbe battuto il suo record Europeo. Putroppo la vita di molti atleti è costellata da un grosso infortunio che li blocca
Beh sicuramente ci è andato molto vicino, ma dubito che anche se non fosse stato colpito dall'infortunio avrebbe fatto un tempo migliore. Mennea rimane il re dei 200m in Europa e lo sarà ancora per qualche anno almeno.
Does he has relatives with Georges Lemaitre who founded the Big Bang theory or just same surname?
They are not related as far as I know
@@MisterFilOfficialThis last name is very common in France.
The first great white sprinter I remember was Mel Patton. Look him up.
You have more research to do.
continued and many other sprinters such as Peter Norman and Kostas Kenteris and Su Bingtian
Merci.
What are the sprinting specific resources to which Black athletes have access that others don't?
@@KevinGarris-b9o genes
@@MisterFilOfficial I misunderstood you. I thought you mentioned genes in addition to other resources. Definitely true.
One attains fast twitch muscles, tendons and ligaments by weight lifting and stretching, and a faster heart beat which results in faster blood flow throughout the physical body!!!
C'est quoi le rapport avec sa couleur ??
French supremacy
cool guy
This is great. We can say black athletes have a genetic advantage and not worry about losing our job here. 😮
Do they have an advantage in the pole vault and swimming....I think not.
Nice, but you forgot Konstantinos "Kostas" Kenteris, the Greek athlete who won gold medals in the 200 metres at the 2000 Summer Olympics, the 2001 World Championships in Athletics and the 2002 European Championships in Athletics, making him the only European sprinter (along with Linford Christie) to win the gold medal in all three major competitions and the only European World Champion in the 200 metres races.
Additionally, he has won two gold, three silver and two bronze medals in the European Cup.
Rachel Zegler is now snow white, so is now an asian sprinter
😂😂😂😂😂
It is incredible how it is hard to run a sprint full spead.
i heard an interview of him once, he said that after breaking 10s barrier, he was contacted and invited by the kkk.
You should make a video on jeremy wariner.
Bro is actually faster than bolt
You said it yourself. Almost ALL of the most successful sprinters have origins in West Africa. Not North, Central, East or Southern Africa. Furthermore... 'negritos' (black Asians) are regularly beaten by other asians at sprints. So this 'Black vs White' question is an over simplified stereotype. Its like asking why Japanese are so much better at Sumo wrestling than Europeans. Is it due to race? Obviously not.
I see your point! So what if I asked "West African vs White" question?
So he wasn't the first european descent athlete to break 20s for 200, confused coz earlier you said he was in the vid 🤔
That's another reason Gout Gout is so interesting. He's not West African either
Trust what your eyes see day in day out. nothing to do with stereotyping. not all men are created equal……
Mongolian are the best at Sumo
Imagine being a competitor in the Usain Bolt era....
Borzov Valery - 100 m 10,07 (1972), 200 м 20,00 (1972)
On the womens side, a shout out to Abby Steiner, an American (white) sprinter with many national records.
What was great about Christophe is that he looked like nothing special, no big muscles, no tanned skin , no special hair cut but a weird moustache , he was never showing off like all the other athletes especially the 100m discipline, and he even had a lisp !
But best of the best is ironically his name : Christophe Le maitre means Christophe the master....
So french 😅
white skin is special not tanned skin. i am korean. we are special amazing skin. tanned skin look no good.
@@bergkampdennis5673 hahaha that 's an interesting point of view. For most of european people having a tanned skin instead of a white skin is a good thing, because it makes us feel healthier, or simply more beautiful.
But you are right , these are very subjective point of views .
@@drixc1 its natural people find white skin beautiful because thats original color of human skin without harmful sun.
@ you mean your people in south Korea because i can tell you most of us prefer being sun tanned. We look healthier.
Before steroids took over athletics in the 1980's, there was no color barrier on winners. Steroids then took over, especially among socioeconomically deprived groups. Why? A new rule took over: Winning = $$$. The rest is history.
so then there should have been at least ONE white elite sprinter, no? at least one..... well there isnt, its genetics
Yes indeed, humans, it ain't got Nothing to do with ethnicity or people group! Finally, humans, God Almighty is Awesome ❤! 😅 Amen
You forgot Borzov!!! 100, 200, Olympic Gold 🥇1972
Kenteris 200m ❤❤❤
Don't forget Valeriy Borzov from Ukraine who won gold in the 100m 1972 Olympics.
many white dudes before the 80s won gold.... Armin hary gold 1960 even had the world record.. Bobby morrow gold 100m in 1956 melbourne , Remigino gold in 1952
further back before 1932 they were all white...
I just realized you can be born in france
He was probably pretending they were robbing him 😂
I think Percy Williams of 1928 to 1930 was faster as he won Gold in the 1928 Olympics in both the 100m and 200m! The 1st man to run a 10.3 100 meters in 1930. You get him new shoes on a MODERN TRACK...train him to use Blocks for 1 year and he'd be 0.5 seconds faster at 9.8 for the 100m at least.
Le difficile prend du temps ,
l'impossible un peu + .
