FRENCH CHAMPIONSHIP · GRANVILLE, FRANCE · OCTOBER 24–27, 2026
THOMAS PROUST CROWNED 2026 FRENCH FORMULA WING CHAMPION
1st Place — French Formula Wing Championship
Thomas Proust claimed the 2026 French Formula Wing Championship title in Granville, adding a national crown to an already impressive international season.
After winning bronze at both the World Championship in Istanbul and the European Championship in Naples, the 20-year-old athlete from La Rochelle confirmed his position among France's leading Formula Wing racers.
The victory came just weeks after a difficult World Cup event in Sardinia, where physical and mental fatigue, combined with equipment damage following a collision, had complicated his racing.
In Granville, Thomas returned to the front of the fleet and secured the French national title.
The championship was not without incident, with another collision during the competition causing damage to his board and foil. Despite this setback, he finished the event at the top of the standings.
With a World Championship bronze medal, a European Championship bronze medal, a World Cup podium in Hong Kong and now the French national title, Thomas concludes the main European part of his 2026 season with four major podium finishes.
French Champion 2026. Another major result in a season competing at the highest international level.
