Judo in force
It’s not a surprise, but val-de-marnais judo was in great shape at the Tokyo Olympics. No less than 4 medals were collected by 4 athletes from Val-de-Marne. There was of course the individual performance of Clarisse Agbegnenou, which adds a line to its already well supplied track record.

These seven medals are enough to give ideas to those who will represent the Val-de-Marne at the Paralympic Games, which will take place from August 24. There will be Nelia Barbosa (Champigny-sur-Marne) by para-canoe, Antoine Jesel (Joinville-le-Pont) in para-rowing, Marie Patouillet (Créteil) in para-cycling, and the judokate from Vincennes Sandrine Martinet. The latter is also the flag bearer of the French delegation.
Now go for the #Paralympic Games (from August 24 to September 5, 2021) for which we will closely follow 3 athletes from Val-de-Marne:
