The bridge between eras
Bertrand Pélissou is the only athlete to win the last unified World Championship (1967) and the first Indoor World Championship (1968). He had been runner-up to Grünwaldt in 1963.
Indoors
Pélissou adapted faster than anyone to the reverberant indoor halls, shortening his calls so their echoes would not overlap. Short, clipped calls became the standard Indoor technique, a line that runs through Callum Reidford all the way to Aaron Warburton.
“I won the last of one thing and the first of another. That is my only trick.”Bertrand Pélissou
