Run Yanis Run


I grew up playing sports, mostly team sports like hockey, baseball and a little basketball.  I never really understood individual sports, as for me, part of the joy of playing, was being part of a team.  But, as I get older, I've grown to appreciate working on goals, passions and skills by yourself, or with a coach, or just one other person.


I've also grown to appreciate track and field sports, ones I rarely watched or paid much attention to, except for when watching the Olympics.  It was through paying attention, that I was introduced to middle distance runner Yanis Meziane.  


Born in Nishihara, Okinawa, Japan, the 21 year old Yanis now lives in France, and specializes in the 800 metres.   At 1.86 m, (6 ft 1 in) the handsome brown haired athlete is striking presence on the track, making him difficult to ignore.  In addition, he and his teammates often like to practice shirtless.
