Accustomed to bringing back titles and medals from their European and world trips, the veteran judokas of the DAC were somewhat disappointed by their recent outing in Abu Dhabi.
For these World Championships, there were four qualifiers who made the trip. Yann Aussibal competed in the M4 category (45 to 49 years old) in less than 60 kg.
Encouraging result
After two victories, he lost in the semi-final and then for the 3rd place. He ranks 5th. Identical course for Gilles Gautré (M7, 60 to 64 years old, less than 90 kg) who also ranks fifth. For him, this is an encouraging result since it was his first world experience. Finally, Christophe Le Pestipon (M5 from 59 to 54 years old, less than 60 kg) and Nacer Nouasria (M7, 60-64 years old from less than 73 kg) finished ninth after two defeats.
Looking towards the new season
Both were not in their best form in the UAE capital. These mixed results had the effect of doubling their motivation for a revenge in 2024. This will begin with the European Championships in June in Sarajevo in Bosnia-Herzegovina, followed by the World Championships in Las Vegas. in October. To qualify, judokas must place in the top seven of two Label Excellence tournaments at national or international level. A hell of a challenge that they are ready to take on. And it will start in December with the Angers tournament.
