A perfect ippon that drove Guillaume Avril crazy with joy in his chair!
A first for this cadet 3, deprived of national deadlines – like all the competition – for two years, covid obliges. A result both expected and hoped for by the Charente delegation.
In the morning, Guillaume Avril, the manager of La Couronne Grand Angoulême Judo, saw the big picture: “We can dream of two podiums with Mouhamed Mazouzi (-81kg) and Keziah Harvent (-90kg). Keziah is for me really above the others. We’ll see. »
ipon in finale
The first round of the latter did not suffer from any possible dispute. Focused, efficient, Harvent swept his opponent in less time than it took to write him! Authoritarian, the Charentais dismissed his next competitors with a certain ease until the time of the final.
Confident when climbing the last step against Ruthenian Eros Bonino (Judo Rodez Aveyron), Harvent was never going to tremble. After about thirty seconds of observation, he managed to slip his right leg between those of his adversary to tip him onto his back. A perfect ippon that drove Guillaume Avril crazy with joy in his chair!
As for the day of Saturday, it should not be carrying hopes for the Charentais and this was confirmed with four exits from the road between the first round for Colin Gouge in less than 60 kg and Tristan Korczynski, defeated in the third round of the repechages in less than 66kg and ranked ninth.
Logical results in the eyes of Guillaume Avril: “Overall, they are in their place. Most are cadets 1 and learn for what was their first French championship. The little disappointment is for Cloé Chauveron (-44 kg) because we feel that it has the potential to hurt. »
