Following the sudden withdrawal of Maxime-Gaël Ngayap Hambou, the France Judo Selection Committee has set its sights on athlete Axel Clerget to replace him during the European Championships.
After this surprise selection, Clerget, who is affiliated with the Sucy club, had to review his plans. He will therefore not be present at the Abu Dhabi Grand Slam, scheduled for October 24 to 26. He himself admits to our colleagues at JHM that he would have liked things to turn out differently. “ It’s not easy for Maxime-Gaël Ngayap Hambou, to whom I wish good luck. Now I’m there. I have to change my plans. It’s up to me to adapt. We hesitated for a long time to do both competitions. It was a long trip to Abu Dhabi, with a tiring return at night, the regime. I will be back in Montpellier »
After a post-Masters break in Hungary, this new challenge is a chance for Clerget to highlight his skills, especially since he is already qualified for the Paris tournament next February. This European competition is also crucial in the race for Olympic qualification, where competition is intensifying.
