If some still doubted the validity of the announcement of her official selection for the 2024 Olympics last November, Marie-Eve Gahié took charge of closing any start of debate this Saturday during the Paris Grand Slam. Indeed, the Paris SG resident is the only French judokate in the under 70kg category to have reached the semi-finals. For this, Marie-Eve Gahié will have had to be patient, until the golden score, to get rid of the German Giovanna Scoccimarro.
For a place in the final, the Frenchwoman will have to get rid of the surprising and very young – 19 years old – Portuguese Tais Pina, who took advantage of the injury of another Blue, Lila Mazzarino, during the golden score of her quarter-final to sneak into the final square. Finally, opposed to the double 2021 and 2022 world champion Barbar Matic, Margaux Pinot was totally powerless, ending up losing on a third penalty when she was already leading.
