Bad day for the tricolor judo delegation this Wednesday in Tokyo. Axel Clerget and Margaux Pinot bit the dust relatively early.

This Wednesday is nothing like the previous days. French judo has accustomed us since the beginning of this Olympiad to one podium per day. Thus, the viewers behind their screens adopted high demands. Suffice it to say that the early eliminations this Wednesday of the two French fighters stand in stark contrast to the joys of standard-bearer Clarisse Agbegnenou’s Olympic title less than 24 hours earlier.

Two early eliminations

Compromised in the women’s -70 kg draw, Margaux Pinot suffered the law of the Greek Teltsidou Elisavet in the round of 16. On the men’s side, things started better for Axel Clerget in the -90 kg category. Dominated Tajik Komronshokh Ustopiriyon in the round of 16 before collapsing in the next round against Dutchman Noel Van T End.

No more hope this Thursday …

This Thursday, Alexandre Iddir will compete in the men’s -100 kg competition against the Azerbaijani Zelym Kotsoiev. With -78 kg for women, Madelaine Malonga will start her competition in the round of 16. France has eight medals, half of which come from tatami mats.
