Receiving an international basketball player in Argentan (Orne) is not every day! So the municipality and the city's two basketball clubs organized everything to receive with great fanfare, Wednesday November 6, 2024, the silver medalist at the Paris Olympic Games: Marine Johannès.
Born in Lisieux (Calvados), the woman who began her career playing at Pont-l'Évêque then Mondeville came to discover the fresco in her image, created by the artist Trams and young Argentanians, and the 3×3 basketball court which bears his name.
“It’s an honor”
“It’s an honor to have this land here, in my region,” reacted the high-level sportswoman. The young basketball players from the Secular Patronage and the Bayard were very excited to see the star arrive, for whom they reserved a guard of honor upon his arrival.
Injured in the ankle, the one who was to meet her audience in Normandy during the France – Israel match which will be played in Caen on Thursday November 7, 2024 had a boot on her left foot.
