The 1is Last December, judoka Jeanne Laterreur, member of the Élite-Avantis team from La Pocatière, added a new gold medal to her record at the Repentigny Development Cup, obtaining a perfect score. She had recently obtained another in Trois-Rivières.
During this provincial tournament, which attracts more than 1,000 athletes and which is part of the selection circuit for the Canadian team, the young judoka dominated the U16 category, yellow to orange/green belt. She thus won three consecutive victories to win a gold medal, signing in the process her second victory in as many competitions. His next meeting will also take place next January, during the Gadbois Cup in Montreal.
The technical director of the Judo La Pocatière club, Jacques Dufour, is now focused on preparing Jeanne Latacteur for the 2025-2026 season, when she will move on to the green belt competition, a key level to access the Canadian championship selections . Jeanne, originally from Saint-Pacôme, is determined to follow in the footsteps of accomplished local judokas like Jasmin Bélanger, the Renaud-Roy sisters, Annik Gourde and Marylise Lévesque, the latter also having grown up in Saint-Pacôme.
In the meantime, the La Pocatière Judo club will organize the 2024 Avantis Cup on December 14 at the Polyvalente de La Pocatière, in the morning. In addition, the club will offer two self-defense training courses for women on January 18 and 1is February 2025. Interested parties can register by email at [email protected].
