Margaux Pinot shows the wounds of his companion’s atrocious aggression: the man has been released

The french judoka Margaux Pinot, twice European champion of -70 kg and Olympic gold with the French mixed team in Tokyo 2020, she is unrecognizable. He has a swollen nose, a bruised left eye, scratches, bruises on his face, bruises on his forehead.

To reduce it in these conditions, the teammate and coach Alain Schmitt,bronze medal at the 2013 World Cup (-81 kg), who recently received the post of coach of the Israeli women’s team.

The reconstruction of what happened

The judoka told the dramatic experience to the French newspaper The Parisien. It was expected that Alain, his companion, would come to his house, who would have to accompany him to the airport. Once he arrived, he said he would no longer need her, starting to insult her. The man then passed to the hands, and even he would try to strangle her. He grabbed her by the hair, hit her in the head, slammed her to the ground and kept beating her, until he put his hands on her neck.

Margaux Pinot was medicated atAvicenne hospital in Bobigny, with a prognosis of 8 daysthe. Alan Schmitt ended up in jail for around 48 hours until yesterday, when he was released after an immediate hearing before the Bobigny Court: the court found that, in the two different versions, there was insufficient evidence of guilt.

The statements of the victim and the aggressor

While the attacker Schmitt who, I remember, was released, declared that he had never beaten a woman and that the bruises on the face of the Olympian would be, according to him, the consequence of bumping into the walls in a quarrel made of tugging. on both sides, the judoka in court described her terror at the fists that “rained on her” during the night.

How much is their defamatory defense worth compared to my injuries and the blood shed on my apartment floor? What more would I have to go through, maybe I should have died? I probably managed to save myself thanks to judo. And I think of all those who cannot say the same “,he added.
