French male hammer throwers

Guy Husson (born March 2, 1931) is a retired French track and field athlete known primarily for the hammer throw. He was born in Vitry-sur-Seine, Val-de-Marne, France. He represented his native country in three Olympics from 1956 to 1964. He was a finalist in 1956, finishing in 13th place. He also represented France at the 1954 and 1958 European Athletics Championships; and the 1955 and 1963 Mediterranean Games.
He set his personal best of 69.40 at a home meet in Aix les Bains at the age of 36. The throw turned out to be a Masters M35 World Record, which stood for almost two years until it was surpassed by the same Hal Connolly who took the gold medal in 1956. Such was the improvement in the event, Husson's throw was more than 6 meters further than Connolly's Olympic winning throw (and Olympic record) 11 years earlier.

Nicolas Figère (born 19 May 1979 in Moulins) is a male hammer thrower from France. His personal best throw is 80.88 metres, achieved in July 2001 in Amsterdam.
In 2007 he tested positive for doping, in an in-competition test conducted at the 2007 European Cup in Munich. He received a one-month suspension.

A talented age group thrower, Accambray set a world junior record in men's hammer throw in 1969. During the early 1970s he studied at Kent State University in Ohio, winning NCAA championship titles in both hammer throw and weight throw. He represented France as a hammer thrower at the 1972 and 1976 Summer Olympics, as well as at the European Championships of 1969, 1971, 1974 and 1978. From 1985 to 1996 he was President of the French American Football Federation.
