Fise Montpellier: Anthony Jeanjean and Laury Perez, Olympic sports and the latest from Matthias Dandois… kickoff of 5 days of madness

Jeanjean pourrait remporter son premier Fise Montpellier. Fise Montpellier – Fise Montpellier

La 27e édition du Fise Montpellier se déroule de mercredi à dimanche. Elle sera spéciale par sa proximité avec les Jeux Olympiques. Le public montpelliérain aura l’occasion de voir à l’œuvre certains athlètes français et internationaux qui feront l’histoire de Paris 2024, cet été.

80 days before the start of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Anthony Jeanjean in BMX Freestyle Park will be the star of Fise Montpellier. The rider from Sérignan has medal ambitions for the Olympics. Thus, the second stage of the World Cup, the only French round of the season, will serve as a dress rehearsal in front of an audience fully committed to its cause.

"The biggest training with the Olympics"

After his opening success in Japan and in the absence of many favorites like the Australian Olympic champion Logan Martin and the American world champion Kieran Reilly, the road is all set for the native of Béziers to win the Fise for the first time time in his career: "It’s always important for me to be in Montpellier, he explained before the first training sessions. Fise is the biggest training for the Olympics. Participating in this event with this atmosphere, this state of mind and this support from the public is the best way to prepare well for what we will find on the Place de la Concorde this summer at the Games."

In his wake, his teammates Istvan Caillet and Kevin Fabregue will try to get closer to Olympic qualification. Finally, Sérignanaise Laury Perez, third in 2023 in the Hérault capital, is expected to be at the top of the bill. The BMX Freestyle Park finals will take place this Saturday in front of thousands of spectators.

The last of Matthias Dandois

The five days of the International Extreme Sports Festival will be punctuated by numerous events in sunny conditions according to the latest forecasts. Olympic sports will be in the spotlight such as skateboarding, breakdancing but also 3×3 basketball which is making its debut on the program of the event created in 1997.

But that's not all since world-class roller skating, parkour and scooter events will punctuate busy days and electric evenings. Finally, you shouldn't miss the Flatland BMX World Cup with local star Alex Jumelin (46 years old) and French legend Matthias Dandois (35 years old), nine-time world champion, who will be performing in Montpellier for the last time of his career.
