Athletics/St Cloud/Cross International/Pro/ Press photo, silver print. On April 3, 1910, Mr. Figourd and Mr. Birck of the FSAPF (pro federation) give the start to the 52 competitors of what is called the European pro cross-country championship or the 7th International Cross. In front of 20 000 spectators scattered in the Park, the fight is intense along the waterfalls to climb three times (4750m), and finally to the general surprise the French have the last word with Louis Bouchard. The first Englishman Alridge is only 4th and his team is only 3rd. The other Frenchmen on the podium are Millot and Neveu. Louis Bouchard of the Union Athlétique de Paris, who swallowed the 16km250 in 56mn57, can count his 300f at the restaurant Texier (1bis av du Palais). TBE. 13X18. There was indeed a pro sport at the time, including soccer. But who wants to hear it?
