Faustine NOEL, Paralympic vice-champion at the Tokyo 2020 Games in mixed doubles, is licensed at REC (Rennes) and trains daily at the + Bad Arena. Brittany has its first badistas qualified for the Games! The recognized referee – Eric LISSILLOUR – licensed at Saint Jacques de la Lande – is already assured of officiating in Paris in 2024. He will be accompanied by his club partner – Heidar DITTOO – who will be on his chair as a referee next summer.
