Lois Petit’s Valiant Effort Against Tough Opponent in Judo Competition

But, beyond her defeat, the Tournaisienne will remember the way in which she stood up to her opponent, bronze medalist last year, at the Euro, and gold recently, in Tashkent!

Faced with this formidable rival, Lois tried everything to win, attacking on the right, but now also on the left. Fiercely fought face-to-face between the two judokas delivered its verdict after more than seven minutes when, on an attack from our compatriot, it was blocked. Damage…

We would, in fact, have been happy to see Lois Petit overcome this pitfall and challenge the Turkish Ersin (21 years old/n°33), victorious to the (almost) general surprise of the Italian Scutto, the world n°1! So, in judo, everything is definitely possible.

Previously, Lois, now 49th in the world, got rid of the Turkmen Kurbanova (19 years old/n°74) and the Mauritian Morand (30 years old/n°37), each time by ippon, during two fights that she had carried out well.

After her seventh place at the end of January, in Odivelas, and, above all, her fifth in mid-February, in Baku, Lois Petit proves that she has found the rhythm against the best in the category. All that remains to be done is to win a medal, which won’t be long…

Judo: Jorre Verstraeten was taken out by the referee while he was leading!
