Judo: The athletes “selected” for the African championships confirm their supremacy

The judoka who will represent Senegal in Algeria for the needs of the African championships have set the bar very high at the international tournament of Saint Louis. They each won a gold medal.

There is nothing better than “gold” to reassure yourself a few days before the African championships which will be played in Algeria from May 26 to 29, 2022. In preparation for several weeks, the Senegalese judokas took advantage of the 23rd edition of the Saint Louis International Tournament to improve.

From Saliou Ndiaye to Adama Badji via Gorgui Sarr and Libasse Ndiaye, they all climbed to the top step of the podium. This is also the case with the ladies. Yacine Diatta, Khadija Sonko and Ndeye Mari Cira emerged victorious in their different categories. Note that the Bronze medalist of the last African championships, Monica Sagna, for lack of opponent, could not participate in this 23rd edition organized this weekend in Saint-Louis.

In view of the good performances achieved by his foals, Abdou Karim Seck, the coach of the Senegalese national Judo team who said he was very satisfied with his fighters, shows his optimism for the big meeting. ” We took the best in Senegal so it was obvious. There are no surprises“, says the Senegalese technician.
