Robert Rousseau, licensed judo instructor at the Brest Dojo and resident of the town, participated in the European Veteran Judo Championships. They took place from Thursday 2 to Sunday 5 June, in Heraklion, Crete (Greece).
Engaged in the master 9 category, less than 73 kg, he climbed on the second step of the podium, losing to a German, by three penalties to two during the golden score.
Since his title of vice-world champion in Lisbon, in October, Robert Rousseau finished first at the national tournament of Elven, in Morbihan, in March, and also at the international tournament of Tours, in April.
These results allowed him to qualify for this championship, which was good preparation for the first French veterans championship. It will take place in Tremblay-en-France (Île-de-France), on June 18 and 19.
