A few days ago, the Grand Prix Occitanie de Lavelanet took place, a competition which brought together the Junior-senior and master categories. The three competitors of the Kodokan Pamiers Judo registered for this event succeeded perfectly in their trip by getting all on the podium.
A special mention to Cyrille Pitarque who twice took advantage of the top step of the podium, by winning his -90kg category in juniors/seniors as well as in masters. Two well-deserved gold medals which follow his performances during the Andorra tournament which he had already won. His final in the masters category pitted him against another competitor from Kodokan Pamiers, Maxime Boncompain.
The third podium is achieved by Thierry Brunet in the masters category -81kg. He lost in the final, bringing back a beautiful silver medal.
The judokas of the Kodokan Pamiers are not relaxing their training with the next objective, the French tournament which will take place in Saint-Aubin du Médoc, on March 26th. Without forgetting that on June 11, the Kodokan Pamiers Judo will organize its first “Didier Guilley Trophy”, a masters team tournament for the over 40s which will bring together eight teams of five competitors, followed by the end of season gala.
