At the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, he won a bronze medal in the 4x100 metres relay with his teammates Bruno Marie-Rose, Gilles Quenehervé and Max Morinière.

At the 1990 European Championships in Split the French team of Morinière, Sangouma, Jean-Charles Trouabal and Marie-Rose improved the world record to 37.79 seconds. The record stood less than one year, as the Santa Monica Track Club from the United States team ran in 37.67 seconds at the Weltklasse Zurich meet.[2] With 10.02 seconds Sangouma is also a former French record holder in the 100 metres.
