With a small group that monopolized the podiums during interregional tournaments, Judo Côte de Lumière secretly hoped to qualify for the Coupe de France. And it’s done: the condition being to finish in the first three by weight category at the regional Angers, January 30.
“We get five podiums there with four qualified, which rewards the season for the whole team, but should not be an end goal for the young people: the rest of their journey in cadets, juniors and seniors is to be preferred. ! And it is also a reward for the educators who, despite the pandemic, have worked to offer activities, increase outings and internships and unite the group. explains Thomas Violleau, teacher at Judo Côte de Lumière.
On March 26 and 27, in Villebon-sur-Yvette, Zoé Macchi, Jade Guillet, Noah Herbé Collachot and Benjamin Menanteau will defend the colors of Judo Côte de Lumière in their category.
