Timeline
Christine Arron (born 13 September 1973) is a former track and field sprinter, who competed internationally for France in the 60 metres, 100 metres, 200 metres and the 4 × 100 metres relay.
She is one of the ten fastest female 100 metres sprinter of all time with 10.73 secs, which is still the European record.
Her time of 10.73 seconds made her then the world's second-fastest ever, female 100 metres sprinter, behind Florence Griffith-Joyner (10.49 seconds, set in 1988).
She also won the 4 × 100 metres relay gold medal at the same championships.
Considering the controversy surrounding the performances of the world record-holder (10.49 sec, set in 1988), Florence Griffith-Joyner, many considered Arron's time of 10.73 sec. set during the 1998 European Championships to be the 'true' world record.
Born in Les Abymes, Guadeloupe, Arron arrived in Metropolitan France in 1990 and first trained with Fernand Urtebise, who also coached the former 400 metres hurdles and 4 × 400 metres relay world champion Stephane Diagana.
Arron has voiced her annoyance with Marion Jones, her fiercest rival during her career: "She has lied for years [...] She treated everyone as idiots. I'm not shocked she is going to jail. Many people criticised me because I was always the one who lost in the Jones-Arron battle, even if I had very good results. We started running together in 1997. She has stolen my best years. Everything could have been different for me."
She set the record when winning at the 1998 European Championships, where she also won a gold medal in the 4 × 100 m relay.
On 19 Aug 1998, Arron won the 100 metres gold medal at the 1998 European Championships in Budapest by finishing the final in a new European record time of 10.73 seconds.
She was named the 1998 European Women's Athlete of the Year.
In 2001, after a heavy training period in the US with John Smith and the HSI group, Arron quit training for a year, saying she was physically exhausted from the experience.
"It was hell. Every morning I wondered how I was going to put up with the burden of training."
She had a hip injury which kept her out of the 2001 World Championships.
In 2002, Arron gave birth to her first child, a son by the name of Ethan.
Also in the relay, she is a 2003 World Championship gold medallist and a 2004 Olympic bronze medallist.
Arron was also the anchor runner of the French 4 × 100 relay team which upset the heavy favourites the US to win the gold medal at the 2003 World Championships in Paris.
She recovered from 3 m behind the newly crowned, 100 m 2003 World Champion, Torri Edwards, to give the home crowd at the Stade de France an unexpected joy.
Arron won her only Olympic medal, a bronze medal, in the 4 × 100 m relay at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece.
In August 2005, Arron won a bronze medal in the 100 metres and
200 metres at the 2005 World Championships.
At the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, Arron competed in the 100 metres event.
In her first round heat, she placed first in front of Lauryn Williams and Tahesia Harrigan in a time of 11.37 sec to advance to the second round.
But in the second round, she failed to advance to the semi-finals as her time of 11.36 sec was only the fourth fastest time of her heat, behind Debbie Ferguson, Oludamola Osayomi and Vida Anim, causing her elimination from the event.
As of September 2023, Arron is the world's ninth-fastest, female 100 metres sprinter (10.73 sec) of all time.
Cassandre's father Benjamin Compaoré, a French triple jumper, became Arron's companion in 2009.
