Texte : Morgan Couturier – With nearly a thousand players gathered at Place de la Liberté, including many big names in the discipline, the City of Bron saw its first edition of the Mondial de pétanque crowned with success.
The last balls had just been thrown, revealing to the public the identity of the winning triplet (Alex Vernile, David Suarez et Richard Feltain), but the mayor Jeremy Breaud had already summed up in one sentence the quality of this first pétanque World Cup. The councilor of Bron had rightly reminded us, “men are born equal, but the best play pétanque”.
A sentence verified in more than one way, when the tournament lined up many big names in the discipline, from the legendary Christian Fazzino has Marco FoyotPassing by Angelique Colombetlogical winner of the women’s tournament, with her teammate, Emma Picard. A way to encourage the public to fill the stands in the square of honor or to mobilize job seekers, invited to participate in a tournament in front of their potential recruiters.
However, if the latter knew how to prove their talents, it was also necessary to appreciate the qualities of the Lyon personalities mobilized for the “gentleman” tournament, of the former military governor, Gilles Daricaud has Jean-Claude Ravierpresident of the Hippodromes de Lyon via Miss Rhône, Clémentine Cédat and his runner-up, Julia Grid Constantine. Enough to legitimize the renewal of such an event next year. With even more stars. And success!
