After a first trip to Rochefort, the cadets traveled to Bressuire for a national Label A tournament. The challenge was to glean points for the national rank list but above all to prepare for the selections.
The boys open hostilities.
Despite very good performances, given the level, Tom Silvestri, Waël Soukni, Yassine Ben Hellal, Gabin Cabassud, Adam Chenine and Manolo Camus were unable to place. Quentin Semenadisse, still a first year cadet, once again put in a good performance but failed to get into the points (9th). Following on from the Rochefort tournament, Hugo Soulié once again showed himself to be imperial. He chained ippons until the final. This last fight was close and on a small mistake, the high level often plays like that, he was surprised. Hugo climbed to the 2nd step of a national podium for the second time in two weeks.
The afternoon was dedicated to women. Agathe Autouard, despite constant motivation, could not place. Chiara Dupuy was the beautiful story of the day. For her first official competition, still a green belt, she ranked 7th and made her appearance in the national rank list.
