Successfully associated with FLAM 91 - under the name Paris-Saclay Judo - for the first edition of the Judo Pro League in 2022, the Judo Club Chilly-Mazarin Morangis has decided to line up under its own colors for this third edition of the event. Founded in 1975, this structure with 663 members at the end of last season has had a dual DNA for several decades, as Bruno Morel, club president, reports. " We like the idea of taking young Chiroquois and Morangissois from white belt to top level, as was the case, for example, with Faiza Mokdar. With this in mind, the end of last season was magnificent, as we became French champions in the cadet and junior men's teams.. "

A deep-rooted commitment to training does not prevent the club from aiming for the very highest level for its practitioners. Here again, last season was remarkable in this respect, with the historic performances of Joan-Benjamin Gaba, who won a European medal in the spring before reaching the Olympic final in Paris and actively contributing to the defense of the mixed team title. The JCCMM's return to the Judo Pro League is in the same vein. "Taking part in what we consider to be an elite competition, and one that will qualify for the Champions League, seems like a no-brainer, especially as the mixed format offers us the opportunity to take a turning point in our history by developing an even more collective state of mind and an even stronger attachment to the club."

With a team made up exclusively of judokas from the club, the Chiroquois team will be keen to prove the excellence of its project.
