At the Paris tournament, on February 4, Malonga took an advantage by beating Tcheuméo in the repechage, before taking third place. Tcheuméo refused to shake her rival’s hand after the fight. But Christophe Massina, head of the French women’s team, explained that after having “observed all the statistics which correspond to these two athletes, [le comité de sélection] had arrived at a perfect equality between the two.
A decision planned for the end of April
He added that the announcement was pushed back to the end of April. The Federation will rely on the results of Tcheuméo at the Georgian Grand Slam (March 22-24) and Malonga at that of Antalya, Turkey (March 29-31).

The committee also appointed Daikii Bouba (-60 kg) and Alexis Mathieu (-90 kg) as alternates.
