Ezio Gonzalez sacré à la Saint-Louis. MIDI LIBRE – Jérôme Belluire

The member of Lance Amicale Sétoise dominated his subject this Saturday, August 24 in the Cadre royal.

Crowned 2024 League champion in seniors, Ezio Gonzalez has a lot of ideas. As he has done throughout the season, the Sétois has shown himself to be intractable, and this from the qualifications. Two broken lances and three opponents dismissed: such was the assessment of his start to the tournament.

Fourteen revengers

The first jouster to compete in the rematches, he then eliminated Clément Salvador with a single lance strike, then reserved the same fate for Thibault Sauvagnac to open the way to the semi-finals. Sauvagnac who had made a strong impression beforehand against Baptiste Redondo.

In total, there were fourteen of them for this last part of the tournament. Hugo Goudard was there and he took out Giulian Girelli without wasting any time. Quentin Abellan followed suit and, if he needed three passes to get rid of Nicolas Lequin, the last thrust of the lance was masterful.

In boss

The surprise then came from Kélian Caramel who, from the first crossing of irons, sent Raymond Amaya into the second guard. Damien Pappalardo, facing Maxime Laget, and Brice Zemrak, facing Erwan Barre, concluded this first round. Abellan then pushed Goudard into making a mistake, then Caramel confirmed against Pappalardo.

In the last four, Gonzalez pushed Zemrak into making a mistake then, when the other two semi-finalists went down the drain, thought he had already won. But the jury was going to pick Abellan, pushed by Caramel.

Ezio Gonzalez had to refocus, gather the same ingredients that made him successful this season and set off again to attack this Saint-Louis. And it was as a boss that he ended this long day of jousting. François, like the whole tribe gathered on the water, could be proud of his offspring.
