There's a lot of excitement and emotion.”
A promising athlete in his youth in Martinique, he had chosen to stop the sport for three years before joining the Metropolis last year to continue his studies at an engineering school in Montpellier. At that time, the 21-year-old took out a license at Montpellier Judo Olympic.
Then, everything happened very quickly for Arthur Combeau's protégé. Once he had the national title in his pocket, he took part in the Judo Pro League and the Champions League with the MJO. During the European competition at home, he was even plastered all over the city on the official poster of the event.
Angel Gustan: “I deserve my place”
Calm and reserved in life, the Martinican became an outstanding fighter after tightening around his waist his black belt that he won only a few weeks ago. “The great moments I'm currently experiencing make me say that I didn't get here by chance. I deserve my place, I made efforts and I'm using this opportunity wisely.”
This Sunday, Angel Gustan will be at the Accor Hotel Arena in Paris. This time to be the center of attention unlike in 2018 when he traveled from his native island as a spectator to encourage Daniel Jean. “When I was there at the time, I told myself that it would be impossible to fight in this room, remembers the man who will experience his first selection with the French team. My goal ? To get first place like in every competition. I tell myself that everything is possible. I managed to do it at the French championship, why not do it again this time. I lack experience but I have my determination.”
