France was supposed to host the 2020 European Championships at Charléty from 25 to 30 August. On 23 and 24 April the organisers and the federation cancelled them outright — not postponed, as Tokyo had been a month earlier on 24 March, but removed from the calendar. The Meeting de Paris went the same way on 26 June after one attempt to move it to September; the Décastar in Talence, the meeting where Kevin Mayer had set his world record two years earlier, was cancelled on 11 May; the Paris Marathon was moved from April to November and then cancelled on 12 August.
What survived was the winter and one weekend in September. Liévin held its international meeting on 19 February — Armand Duplantis cleared 6.07 m there, eleven days after his first world record in Toruń, and Pascal Martinot-Lagarde ran 7.47 in the 60 m hurdles — and the French indoor championships at the end of the month.
Racing shorts are lightweight split-seam shorts built for track and road racing: a woven shell of roughly 64–92 grams, a built-in brief liner instead of underwear, and an open outer seam that frees the leg at full stride.
The split itself has a birthday. British marathoner Ron Hill tore his side seams open in frustration, won the 1970 Boston Marathon, and founded Ronhill that September to sell the fix. Every race-issued pair in this archive descends from that pair of scissors.
Racing shorts are the bottom half of the classic athletics kit: a featherweight woven shell, an elastic waistband with a drawcord, a built-in brief liner instead of underwear, and as little length as the job allows.
What separates a race pair from the shorts in a gym bag is the side seam. On a split short the outer seam is left open, the front panel simply overlapping the back. At full stride the leg lifts through the gap instead of dragging fabric with it.
