In 2007, Coiffic became the second athlete after Stephan Buckland to win the 100m, the 200m and 4 × 100 m relay events at the Indian Ocean Island Games also known as the Jeux des Iles de L'ocean Indien, held in Antananarivo, Madagascar.

Earlier that year, he achieved a personal best time 20.89 seconds at the Resisprint International Meeting in Switzerland thus making him the third fastest Mauritian sprinter in the half lap event.

This poor performance was repeated at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India where the sprinter only reached the quarter final of the 200m in 21.19 seconds and also being eliminated in the first rounds of the 4 × 100 m relay.

However, in 2011, Coiffic impressed many with his winning streak of three gold medals at the 2011 Indian Ocean Island Games, held in Mahe, Seychelles.

He thought of attempting to break the Games' record in the 200m which is 20.46 and was achieved in 2003 by Stephan Buckland, but that seemed to be too farfetched as he would have had to run close to his personal best of 20.89.
