16 products, 4 categories, 5 winners ... Focus on the “Reveal Innovation”, Decathlon innovation awards, aimed at developing and modernizing the practice of sport, through their design, their technology, their eco-responsible approach or again the answer given to uses as close as possible to sports practitioners

The recent increase in crossing attempts led our teams from Decathlon Calais, Grande-Synthe, Le Touquet Paris Plage and Boulogne sur Mer (all in North France) to suspend sale of products that could be used to cross the Channel rather than for their intended sporting application.
