The badistas from Chaumont, Langres and Bettancourt will be at the Cosec in Bar-sur-Aube, Saturday December 14 (8:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.) and Sunday December 15 (8:30 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.), for the Aube/ departmental championships. Haute-Marne youth (minibad for juniors). A competition where the Haut-Marnais intend to shine and validate several tickets for the Grand Est regional championship. “Tickets” reserved for those who win the title.
At the Chaumont badminton club, of the nineteen who will travel to Aube, several titles are expected, whether in singles, doubles or mixed doubles. Firstly by Elsa Comte, among the youngest girls. La Chaumontaise, who has just won gold in the regional youth Trophy (read above), is undoubtedly the big favorite. We just have to hope that, firstly, she will have enough “fuel in the engine”, after her competition in Clermont-en-Argonne (Meuse), last weekend and, secondly, that she will manage to manage the label of favorite, she who, from now on, will be THE girl to beat!
Accustomed to competitions and pressure, Manon Vollot is also expected on the highest step, among the chicks, especially during the singles. Among the chicks, for the title, Delphine Catalifaud, the president of the Chaumont badminton club, expects to see duels between several of her protégés, namely Marceau Delfosse, Félix Magrini, Marius Baizeau and Malo Renaudin. This promises!
If, in minibad, there is no qualification for the Regionals, it will still be advisable to closely follow the Chaumontais Léonard Cordier who has the qualities to climb on the first step of the podium.
Langres and Bettancourt will have their say
Concerning the twelve badists from Langres, the youngest Jean Maillefert-Collin, winner of the last youth circuit, in Langres, undoubtedly has the means to do something in Aube. We will also have to pay attention to the performances of Lolarose Consigny-Guillemin in the cadets and Alexis Bouillaud in the juniors.
On the Bettancourt side, with four badists, Lana Drouard, in the juniors, and Pierre Elie Thiéblemont, in juniors, have the means to succeed in good departmental championships.
It now remains to be seen how many tickets the Haut-Marnais will collect in Aube, in order to give themselves nice gifts before their time. Response Sunday, December 15 in the evening.
