A little reminder to those who have forgotten, in the wake of the men’s EuroBasket will be the Women’s World Cup, from September 22 to October 1 and on the side of Sydney. Bronze medalist at the Tokyo Games, the French will have the heavy task of aiming for a new medal there, but they will therefore have to do so without Sandrine Gruda. Big blow for the French team, very big blow.
This French Team version V1 of Jean-Aimé Toupane, who took over from Valérie Garnier following the Games, will therefore be a team… new look. Exit Endy Miyem, Diandra Tchatchouang, Alix Duchet and Valériane Vukosavljevic, all medalists a year ago during the Games and injured and/or absent in 2022, and therefore exit Sandrine Gruda, incidentally best scorer in the history of Les Bleues and strike force n°1 of this French team for regarding ten years. Embarrassed by knee pain, Sandrine had not participated at the start of the preparation, and it was finally the calf which creaked and which therefore forced the player and her staff to accept the worst: no trip to Australia, no World Cup. A blow for the 35-year-old player, who had the opportunity to play in one of her last international competitionseven if the 2024 Games obviously remain in everyone’s mind, including his.
Finally Axel’s father will leave for Sydney with a very young group, including Gaby Williams, the two Marines (Fauthoux and Johannes) and the interiors Alexia Chartereau and Iliana Rupert will be the leaders. 17 players are still part of the enlarged group, including some heads also known from the 3×3 circuit (Berkani, Hériaud, Touré, Paget), and the final group should be known around September 9, the date of the departure of the band in Australia . Shouldn’t take a plane trip for nothing huh, borrows carbon coughed. The 17? We’ll give them to you just below, just to warm up for us too before the 22nd.
- Positions 1: Marine Fauthoux, Marie-Eve Paget, Marie Pardon, Carline Hériaud
- Posts 2: Marine Johannes, Lisa Berkani, Sarah Michel, Migna Touré, Sara Chevaugeon
- Postes 3 : Gaby Williams, Kendra Chery
- Positions 4: Alexia Chartereau, Marième Badiane, Assitan Kone
- Poles 5: Helena Ciak, Iliana Rupert, Ana Tadic
To prepare for this World Cup, our girls will face Belgium twice before their departure, then will face Team USA once, the Australian host and Belgium once once more. The Blue group at the World Cup? Australia, Serbia, Canada, Japan, Mali. Four out of six teams with medal ambitions in the same group, like the guys, it looks like FIBA has reeled off to prevent France from doing harm, find me tonight on Twitch for unpublished statements, we’ll talk regarding traffic of influence and marregardingage.
No Sandrine Gruda at the World Cup and the Grudance will therefore leave a huge void in the Australian rackets. The opportunity for others (Iliana it’s your time) to gain experience and assert themselves as a leader, but the JAT troupe clearly didn’t need that.
