Who will take part in the Olympics in Paris 2024 this summer? Apart from judokas (already established) and a few disciplines (boxing, badminton or even canoeing), few athletes can answer this question with certainty. However, trends are emerging in Vienne and Deux-Sèvres. We take stock.
We first think of table tennis, with the French number one, the TTACC 86 player, Jia Nan Yuan. There is little doubt about his presence, especially in mixed doubles. In volleyball, France is automatically qualified and two Poitevins should appear in the coach’s choice: the star Earvin Ngapeth and his friend Antoine Brizard.
Chances of medals in basketball, volleyball and archery
In handball, Niortais Nicolas Tournat should be called. At 30, the pivot has been in all of the Blues’ recent victorious campaigns. In basketball, the former player of PB 86 Evan Fournier is expected. To see about Moustapha Fall, another international who passed through Vienna manages to find a place in the interior position.
In cycling, several FDJ Suez champions have been pre-selected. The French track girl Marie LeNet or the Australian one Grace Brown. In athletics, Bressuirais Hugo Hay will go, barring any disaster, to the Olympics, he achieved the minimum requirements of 5000 meters.
Finally, Poitou could shine during the Paralympic Games: we think of the triathlete from Stade Poitevin Geoffrey Wersy or the archer Julie Chupin, based in Moncoutant-sur-Sèvre. She has already validated her ticket and will definitely participate in the Olympic Games.
