Sad Thursday for the French delegation
to Basque Pelota World Cup
. Of the fifteen semi-finals she played on October 27, she won … five! The day was particularly complicated on the side of the wall on the left of Fal in Biarritz, with two defeats in paleta gum wall on the left, and as many in frontenis. “We bump into a glass ceiling concedes Christophe Jeleznoff, coach of the French men’s team of frontenis. In France, we only have five or six players capable of playing at a high level, and no championship to progress, unlike the Spaniards for example. Not to mention that the other nations are progressing.”
Franco-French duel in Cesta punta for bronze
At the Jai Alai d’Aguiléra in Biarritz, French puntists
stalled against their Spanish counterparts. First Ludovic Laduche and Éric Iraztorza, in a game with an incredible scenario. Injured, the two players had to leave the kantxa. But the rules only allow one change. Jon Tambourindéguy thus had to finish the game alone against Lopez and Erkiaga. In the second semi-final, Jean-Dominique Olharan and David Minvielle lost at the end of the suspense against Goikoextea and Lekerika, 15-12, 9-15, 10-9. “We went one centimeter from the finalanalyzes the back David Minvielle, in reference to the last ball which sealed the fate of the meeting. It’s infuriating, there was really room.“The final will therefore be 100% Spanish, and the 100% French final
.
It is the Spaniards who monopolize most of the places, since we find them in total in 19 finalsincluding those in frontball already played
. Wednesday evening, Iker Espinal had won gold, when his compatriot lost to the Mexican player
. The second nation that will play the most finals is Mexico with seven games. Argentinians
finishes the Top 4 behind France, with four finals to go.
France is a hit in the trinquet
Of the five finals for which France has qualified, four are in trinquet. At the Berria d’Hasparren trinquet, Mathieu Ospital qualified in a one-on-one unarmed match, and the pair Larralde – Ducassou, unsurprisingly, in two to two. At the Trinquet Moderne in Bayonne, Denis Larretche and Valentin Cambos are qualified in leather paleta. Still at Le Moderne**, Amaia Etchelecu and Sylvie Halsouet** qualified in rubber paleta. The only survivor of the wall to the left of Plaza Berri, the pair Hourcourigaray – Chatellier beat Argentina in three sets to advance to the final.
Please note that this Wednesday, October 26, Eneko De Paredes and Oihan Borteyru qualified for the Xare final at Berria.
