On the weekend of February 19 and 20, Loan Pellegrino took part in the national excellence cadet tournament in Toulouse.
He finished second in this very tough competition, in the under forty-six kilo category. “This is my first national level podium.”
During this day, he won until the final, all his fights by ippon, where he lost on penalties against the French n° 4 in the category. His only regret during this competition will remain “the lack of recovery between the semi-final, which ended with a golden score, and the final”.
By chaining his two fights cost on cost, it was difficult for him to express himself correctly against a judoka so well ranked at the national level.
A very good performance for Loan Pellegrino, just before the regional final which took place on February 26 and which serves as a selection for the French championship.
