The Marnavalaise Mélanie Legoux-Clément (-48 kg) wore the tunic of the French team, Friday March 22, for the Grand Slam in Tbilisi, Georgia. The opportunity was perfect to make us forget his express return during the Paris tournament at the end of January.
For this stage, where Asia and Europe meet, Nord Haut-Marnaise began its tournament against Argentina’s Keisy Perafan (43rd in the world). Clément Legoux, his coach having made the long trip, saw a generally successful first fight.
“Mélanie gave herself a good warm-up in this first confrontation,” he testifies. “She managed to push her opponent into a mistake, which made her win by penalty. It was a little hard at first, but it ended well. »
This could also have happened against the Kazakh Galiya Tynbayeva (27th in the world). Mélanie Legoux- Clément took the advantage in the second round with a well-executed first hold…before being equalized by waza-ari.
“She was managing pretty well with 30 seconds to go,” relates Clément Legoux. “She was not far from having her opponent penalized for lack of attack. But it ended in ippon for Mélanie. » Which signaled the end of his Georgian adventure.
That being said, the Haut-Marne doublet is working hard to ensure that Mélanie Legoux-Clément regains her level. Her return to competition after her pregnancy requires a step-by-step progression.
“There is a notable progression compared to Paris” underlines Clément Legoux. “At Bercy, she was unlucky, since she came up against a top seed. But we are still moving in the right direction,” knowing that, from next weekend, a tournament in Turkey awaits the Marnavalaise. Who knows what that might bring!
