Céleste Sela

Happy birthday to France’s Céleste Sela, a long jumper and sprinter who made the boldest move in an athlete’s playbook: crossing an ocean — and then most of another one — to chase the sport. Céleste competes for the University of Hawai’i, roughly twelve thousand kilometers from home, trading the French club system for NCAA runways in the middle of the Pacific. That takes more than talent; it takes the same leap-into-the-unknown nerve that makes a long jumper in the first place.
Joyeux anniversaire, Céleste! Que cette année te porte toujours plus loin — sur la piste comme dans la vie. 🎂🎁🎉🫶🫶🇫🇷
