Niortaise Pauline Cuq wins gold at European Cadet Judo Championships in Riga

She left to win, she did it! Unsurprisingly, the Niortaise Pauline Cuq won the gold medal this Tuesday afternoon at the European Cadet Championships under 44 kilos in Riga, Latvia. A victory by ippon over the Swedish Tara Babulfath. At Dan 79, his dojo in Niort, it’s pride. Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, few people were able to accompany him to Latvia, not even his father Cédric who trains him most often with Anthony Mortini, his coach. Yet in the stands during the fight broadcast live on Ippon TV we could hear cries in French to support her, the cries of her comrades also engaged. Pauline Cuq, 16, is also a resident of the Poitiers judo hope center. Since the resumption of international competitions last June, she has won her two fights in the European cups from Porec (Croatia) and Telpice (Czech Republic). In 2019 she finished with bronze around the neck of the European and World Championships.
