Ten judokas, ten fights. The evening promises this Tuesday evening at the Plaine des Sports in Châteauneuf-les-Martigues with the fifth and final group day of the Judo Pro League, the French team championship. Even if participation in the quarter-finals of OM Judo is already in the bag, the Olympian club aims to win against Auxerre to hope for the most affordable draw possible for the rest of the competition (start of the fights immediately from 6:30 p.m.).
An Olympian team which will ultimately have to do without Audrey Tcheumeo (-78kg) and that is the bad news of the day. Initially planned to be part of the Marseille collective, the member of the French team, multi-awarded internationally, finally had to give up, injured during her last training. OM Judo will have to find a replacement to compete with an Auxerre team expected to be strong.
An Olympian team which should thus resemble the one which won against Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois during the 3rd day (7-3), a performance already achieved without Tcheumeo (Sciacovelli, Florimont, Esteves, Mariac, Cabanne , Giordano, Pedrotti, Duchaussoy, Cancan, Ndiaye).
OM – Auxerre, from 6:30 p.m. at the Plaine des Sports in Châteauneuf-les-Martigues. Free entry.
