After unforgettable Olympic and Paralympic Games where we were able to see the dazzlingness of Ultramarine judo, the national competition resumed on Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 November in Chalon-sur-Saône. More than 500 competitors took part in the French D1 championship celebration. The Martinican Angel Gustan won the title of French Champion in the category of over 100 kg.
The Chalon-sur-Saône Colisée vibrated with Angel Gustan, ex-member of the Espoir Caraibes pole and Cam de Rivière-Pilote, now licensed at Montpellier Judo Olympic.
With his 1.97m and 120kg, Angel Gustan performed at the French championships. At the end of two days of competition, he won the title of French champion over 100 kg.
Angel Gustan has 14 years of practice. He started at the age of 7 in Rivière-Pilote, a town located in the south of Martinique. His teachers were not mistaken in detecting the potential.
The Olympic combat sport judo is doing well in Martinique. Throughout the year, West Indian judo stands out on the tatami mats, which shows the importance and quality of the trainers.
President Alfred Céphise, freshly re-elected by his peers representing the presidents of the DROM and CROM to the Federal Council, displays great satisfaction for the 2024-2028 Olympiad.
From now on, the public will have to get used to this name. The member of Montpellier Judo Olympic, trained by Arthur Combeau, has a laudatory track record.
After winning the Saint-Raphaël senior excellence label tournament in May 2024, winning 1era place in the Senior Regional Championship in Occitanie then, he ranks 1is at the senior excellence label tournament in Tergnier.
On August 18, 2024, he won the gold medal in the +100 kg category at the Spanish Super Cup in Valencia.
While pursuing his engineering studies, he did not abandon sport. Less than a month ago, on October 12, 2024, he won the silver medal in Malaga, Spain, during his first European Cup in the over 100 kg category.
This progression is confirmed with this title of 2024 French champion in the over 100kg category, (same category as Teddy Riner) won on Sunday November 3, 2024 in Chalon-sur-Saône.
The Martinican has already been selected for the Grand Slam, a Parisian event, in April 2025.
