POSTS STORIES REELS

My last junior european championship ✨

One of the worst starts to a championship I’ve ever had.
Health issues, including a severe allergic reaction, trouble finding the right trajectories on the track, and immense stress due to these adverse conditions.
And yet,
there it was,
the crowning achievement,
the turnaround,
an unexpected third-place finish in the 100m that made me make the switch,
and then
that victory in the lap race,
a title I’d waited so long for,
one I’d stopped hoping for,
but there they were,
this gold medal and this jersey
nothing can describe how I felt in that moment.

None of this would ever have been possible without the unwavering support of my loved ones, my family, and my coaches.

For that, I wanted to thank my parents, who have always supported me through the good times and the bad.

@marilyneletyrant and Christophe, my second family in Brittany, who accompanied and supported me during these two years in Brittany and without whom I would never have had such wonderful years there,

@coach_morvan and @mau_bility for these two years of coaching and training that allowed me to get to where I am today and without whom I would never have reached the level needed to achieve these performances.

A special mention also goes to all my partners at the training center, both from this year and last year.

Thank you to the entire French national team staff for enabling us to arrive at this championship under the best possible conditions and thus be able to excel there.

Finally, thank you to @arenageisingenkaliskate and its partners for the equipment, which plays a central role in my performance and has therefore allowed me to perform as I should.

And never forget :
no matter what kind of night you’ve had, the sun always rises in the end ✨

Last week marked the end of a tough first European Championship in the junior category.

As expected, the level was high — exactly what you’d expect from a European Championship.

There’s still a long way to go to reach a medal in this category, and I clearly realized that throughout the week.

However, rather than stopping or getting discouraged, this experience motivated me even more. It showed me all the work that still needs to be done and everything I’m missing to reach the top of the European level in this new category.

So yes, I’m leaving without any medals and with a bit of frustration, but above all I’m leaving with a very enriching experience, stronger determination, and a bigger desire to push myself and improve.
And for that, thank you to all my opponents who showed me how much I still have to achieve.

Thanks also to the entire staff of the French national team who allowed me to be in the best possible conditions to perform, to @pole_bretagne_roller who pushed me all year and provided me with an amazing training environment, to @coach_morvan for all those hours spent coaching me, to @mau_bility for all the strength and physio sessions.

Thanks also to all my partners and friends who made this past year at the training center absolutely incredible, even beyond the sporting aspect.

Also, thank you to my former coaches @stephaniegoetschy @margauxwllm — without them I would never have had the chance to one day reach this level or even dream of aiming higher.

Thank you as well to @arenageisingenkaliskate and his collaborators : @9_rojo @m.4.r_racing @tltfmfg @ccninline_europe , for trusting me throughout the season and providing me with quality equipment — without which, despite all my efforts, I couldn’t have reached this level.

Finally, thank you to my friends and family who supported me all year long, despite the distance and the little time I spent at home.

I’ll be back better than ever also see you for the next.

Retour sur le championnats d'Europe 2024
Très content de mes performance (vainqueur du 200m, 2e aux relais et 3e au 500m), je repars néanmoins avec la frustration de ma dernière course, le tour, où je glisse en finale.
Je suis malgré tout très content de mon championnat et je souhaitais remercier tout le staf de l'équipe de france qui nous permettent chaque jour d'être dans les meilleurs conditions. Mais également mes partenaires @enzomalfois et @jorys.mlt pour ces magnifique course et ce triplé formidable au 500m.
Je souhaitais aussi remercier mes coachs @stephaniegoetschy et @margauxwllm, mes partenaires @_violettebraun_ et @nael_oster ainsi que mes parents sans qui je n'aurais jamais atteint ce niveau.
C'était ma dernière competition en youth et maintenant il va falloir redoubler d'effort pour retourner chercher cette séléction en junior.

Merci aux photographe pour ces belle photo
