Wilfried Happio is a French hurdler born on September 22, 1998, in Bourg-la-Reine. Standing 187 cm tall, he specializes in the 400 metres hurdles, born to a Martinican mother and a father from Metropolitan France.
Happio won gold medals at both the 2017 European U20 Championships and 2019 European U23 Championships, demonstrating his dominance at age-group level. His personal best of 47.41 seconds was set in Eugene, Oregon in 2022. In June 2025, he was served with an 18-month competition ban backdated to January 2025 for an anti-doping rule violation related to three missed tests.
Despite his early championship success at European age-group levels, Happio's career has faced challenges. His times placed him among France's top 400m hurdlers, though his anti-doping violation has impacted his competitive career.
