Wilfried Happio

Wilfried Happio (born 22 September 1998) is a French athlete specialising in the 400 metres hurdles. Born by a Martinican mother and a father from Metropolitan France, he won gold medals at the 2017 European U20 and 2019 European U23 Championships.

His personal best in the event is 47.41 seconds set in Eugene Oregon in 2022.

In June 2025, Happio was served with an 18-month competition ban backdated to January 2025 for an anti-doping rule violation in relation to three missed tests ("whereabouts failures").

Personal life In 2020, Happio is accused of assaulting triple jump athlete Janet Scott, with whom he had a brief romantic relationship. The commission considered, after its judgment, that the facts were "not sufficiently established", and said it was unable "to establish whether Mr. Happio assaulted Ms. Scott or whether he acted in self-defense. "

In 2022, he is the subject of a complaint for acts of sexual assault dating back to 2021 which were allegedly committed against another athlete resident at INSEP, a specialist in triple jump. He is eventually taken into custody on December 20 as part of the investigation for "sexual assault".
