Olympic Games 2024 – Sami Chouchi climbs -90 kg with the Paris Games in the sights

Sami Chouchi, 29, hopes in this way to be able to win his ticket for the Paris Olympic Games in 2024. In -81 kg, Sami Chouchi, 6th in the world, is blocked by Matthias Casse, 2nd in the world, on the road leading to the Games. Only one judoka per category is indeed authorized at the Olympic Games. Sami Chouchi, vice-champion of Europe in 2018 and bronze medalist of Euro 2022 in -81 kg, will fight for the first time in -90 kg in two weeks, at the Grand Prix of Portugal (from January 27 to 29) . He will then continue at the beginning of February with the Grand Slam of Paris (4 and 5 February). This is not the first change of category for the Brussels resident, who went from -73 to -81 kg in 2017. (Belga)
