It was his finest performance to date. Camille Jedrzejewski22 years old, native of Compiègne and member of Noyon Modern Pentathlon, won the gold medal in the 10m pistol during the final stage of the Shooting World Cup. A performance carried out this Friday, May 3 in Baku, Azerbaijan. For the young French woman, a physiotherapist student in Gironde and a reservist police officer, it is ideal preparation for the Olympic Games.
Rise to power
Already a silver medalist in the 25m pistol at the Olympic qualifying tournament in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) in April, the young shooter was more than comfortable also on 10m in Baku, thus showing her versatility . She thus signs her best performance to date. A rise in power for the young Isarian who finished vice-European champion in 2023, and was used to second places until now. Her second place in Rio had assured France a ticket for the shooting events for Paris 2024, a non-nominative ticket and for which the young woman must still fight if she wants to live the Olympic dream.
Home stretch
By beating high-level champions this weekend (the Korean Kim Yeji finished silver medal, and the Chinese Jiang Ranxin, bronze medal), Camille shows that she will have to be counted on. Everything should be decided in a few weeks at the European Championships. They will take place in Croatia from May 20 to June 8: no time to savor this gold medal. The young Isarian could be selected for Paris in the 10m, 25m and mixed shooting events.
