French D1 Championships, in Perpignan
The first day of the French Premier Division championships took place this Friday in Perpignan. Many Bretons entered the running, including Mickaël Dubois. A member of the Sucy Judo club, the Rennais won bronze in -73 kg. He could nevertheless harbor some regrets, since he led 1 waza-ari to 0 in his half against the experienced Loïc Korval (33 years old), bronze medalist at the 2010 world championships in Tokyo. In the physically tough, the latter nevertheless managed to equalize, before registering a second waza-ari eleven seconds from the end of the game! Revenge, Dubois quickly evacuated his disappointment by dominating, during his final of the repechage, Alex Mariac (Montreuil), thus winning third place.
The ex-Rennaise Crocher also in bronze
Among the other results, Séphora Corcher (ex-CPB Rennes) also finished the day in bronze. Beaten in the -48 kg semi-final by the future champion Manon Urdiales, the member of RSC Champigny also won her repechage final against Léa Beres (Stade Bordelais), avenging the Costarmorican Marion Sevin, who left the first round by the Girondine.
This Saturday, the judokas of the heaviest categories will enter the track. The Morbihannaises Virginie Bodilis and Kaïla Issoufi as well as Cloé Yvin and Maxime Aminot will notably be to follow from 9 am.
