Armchair fencing: Clermontois Ludovic Lemoine pulls out all the stops at the Euro in Paris… 6 months before the Games!
For his first Games, in 2012 in London, the native of Vannes who had lived for a long time in Clermont-Ferrand won a silver medal with the Blues, in team foil.
During the following Games, the Clermont shooter and his French teammates confirmed in this same event, this time taking bronze, in Rio de Janeiro, in 2016.
Absent in Tokyo in 2021, the Auvergnat, a model of high-level consistency (recently crowned French champion for the 15th time), returns to the Paralympic adventure, at 38 years old. With always the same desire to surpass oneself and to conquer a new podium. Especially with the support of the French public, in the majestic setting of the Grand Palais, in Paris.
