In judo, talking about a fifth place is always tricky. Indeed, this ranking is attached to the memory, often painful, of having lost the final fight which allows access to the podium. This Sunday, judokate Louanne Réveillon, from the Clain Valley Judo Club, experienced this feeling, finishing fifth in the French cadet championships, in Paris, in the – 57kg category. But seeing the glass half empty would miss the point of what constitutes authentic performance.
Already very close to the best
Victorious in the French Mini Cup a year ago, Louanne, a student at the Isaac de l’Etoile college in Poitiers in the school sports section, not only achieved the best result among all the Vienne fighters, but also and above all, posed milestones for the coming years. “ The outcome of this day remains very positiveanalyzes his club teacher, Willy Dubois. Particularly because she is not a first year cadet (there are three years in this age category). This event can play a key role for the future, because she saw that she was already very close to the best! »
A dense day with seven fights, where Louanne will only be beaten by the future silver and bronze medalists. “He probably lacked a little tactical experiencecontinues Willy Dubois. But this defect is logical in view of its age. It is precisely through this type of major event that it will reach new milestones in this area! »
Place for France hopefuls
A resident of Liniers, Louanne Réveillon trains all week at the Poitiers youth center before returning to the club on Friday evening. “We must also thank the club’s board of directors and volunteers, because thanks to them we were able to plan the season with often long and costly trips. »
Fighting, attentive, with a mind of steel, she was crowned champion of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region and medalist at the Excellence tournament in Cesson-Sévigné (Ille-et-Vilaine) in January. A nugget of judo from Vienne who will be fifteen years old at the end of the month who already has another objective in mind to end this season: the French junior championships which will take place in mid-May in Ceyrat (Puy-de-Dôme ). “It’s a federal championship reserved for first year cadets. There, the objective is simple: victory! », says his teacher. An appointment has been made.
