Omnisports. A dozen or so athletes from Lorraine selected for the Mediterranean Games

They don’t have the prestige of the World Championships or even the European Championships, but they are an important step for athletes who are progressing or wanting to make a name for themselves on the international stage. The 19th Mediterranean Games, which will bring together nearly 3,400 athletes from June 25 to July 6 in Oran (Algeria), will be one of the highlights of the weeks to come. A large French delegation, 309 members strong is expected in Algeria.

There will be around ten athletes from Lorraine, a good majority of them from Moselle. Made up of experienced athletes (Augustin Bey, Benjamin Choquert, Magda Wiet-Hénin or Akhmed Aibuev) or in the making (karateka Tiphaine Bonnarde), the Lorraine delegation has the means to shine in Algeria and bring back one or more medals.

The people from Lorraine selected: Augustin Bey (length, A2M), Benjamin Choquert (half-marathon, Nancy), Julien Ranc (1500m, A2M), Aurore Fleury (1500m, Nancy), Tiphaine Bonnarde (karate, Longwy), Kendra Dacher (wrestling, Maizières- lès-Metz), Akhmed Aïbuev (wrestling, Sarreguemines), Ibrahim Boukedim (boxing, Woippy), Guewe Diouf (volleyball, Terville-Florange), Magda Wiet-Hénin (taekwondo, Nancy).
