PARIS, March 4 (Xinhua) — French sprinter Christine Arron is out of this weekend’s world indoor championships in Spain due to aleg injury, French sports daily L’Equipe reported on Tuesday.

The 34-year-old will not recover in time from a light hamstring tear in her right leg. She was due to run in the 60 metres in Valencia.

“It is a wise decision,” her coach Stephane Caristan said. “She’s not 100 percent fit.”

The 100 metres European record holder plans to take part in her last Olympics in Beijing in August.
