Bastien Augusto (born 10 August 1999) is a French middle-distance runner. He helped his team to three medals at the European Cross Country Championships, including leading his team to a gold medal in the 2022 edition. Beginning his career in the 10K run, he has exhibited range from that distance (27:40) to the 1500 m (3:34.85).
Augusto began his career on the roads, running 30:07 in the Corrida Pédestre Internationale de Houilles 10K run in 2018. He won his first national medal at the 2019 French 10K champs, placing 3rd. [1]
By virtue of his 4th-place finish in the 1500 m at the 2021 French Athletics Championships, Augusto qualified for his first national team at the 2021 European Athletics U23 Championships. At the championships, he qualified for the finals and finished 16th. [1] Later that year he also represented France at the 2021 European Cross Country Championships by finishing 5th at that year's French Cross Country Championships. Running in the U23 race, he helped his team win a bronze medal. [1]
In 2022, Augusto improved his showings at both the French and 2022 European Cross Country Championships, this time placing 6th individually in the senior race to lead the other French scorers Yann Schrub and Morhad Amdouni to a gold medal. Bastien was not expected to lead the French team, as Jimmy Gressier said in Ouest-France (in French), "Everyone was talking about Yann (Schrub) or Morhad (Amdouni) for the victory or at least the place of best Frenchman, I knew that we had to watch Bastien. Since his beginnings in athletics, he's been a friend, I know what he does in training, I know what he's worth and his return to Lille at the beginning of October over 10 km in 28'15 doesn't even reflect not quite his level". [2]
At his third European Cross Country showing in 2023, Augusto only finished 52nd but nonetheless his French team won a senior silver medal. [3]
Born in Limoges to his father Paul Philippe, Augusto trains in Bourges where he is a member of the Bourges EA club US Berry Athlétisme. [1] [4] In March 2024, Augusto moved to the United States to train for the 2024 Olympic Games. [5]
