Alexandre Bardenet Not Going To The Olympics For 4 Mins 

Merci beaucoup Sam pour cette magnifique vidéo. Je me battrai toujours 🫶

First of all W music Second: someone who’s been at every team events during the qualifying period, and one of the reasons France actually managed to qualify shouldn’t be taken out for someone else, as without him France might’ve not even been top 4 let alone top 1 in the world This is one of the dumbest abuse of power I’ve seen and it’s sad how one if France’s top contributors to qualify doesn’t get to go after helping the team qualify Imagine waking up one day, thinking you’re going to the olympics because your team qualified after all your efforts only to learn that despite your work being enough, your federation doesn’t like you so someone else gets to go

We got INSEP politics before GTA VI

Un tirador con calidad demostrada y que ha sido integrante del equipo en la clasificación, no debe quedar excluido.

That's kinda sad he was always in top three on French team in my opinion he was OG

i still don't understand how he is not selected for the games. He was defenitely robbed for his place

Brutal. If this doesn't make him go psycho, don't know what will...

It's ridiculous that they're not sending one of their absolute best fencers to the Games, but if the French federation wants to lose the team gold (as well as lowering their chances at an individual medal) then this is absolutely the way to go. It's not that Midelton or Allegre are bad fencers, not by a long shot, and nothing against either of them, but Bardenet is better than either of them.

For completeness - and I write this fully horrified that Bardenet was not selected - you need to include the 15th touches from his two consecutive losses to Imrek 😔

Absolutely crazy. I hope he's okay 😿 Edit: Great vid, Sam

❤

I'm glad he's appealing the decision.

I’m guessing Middleton made it over him? Tough call, Middleton is hungry at the moment it’s pretty good to have that kind of wild card but still 😢

Abuse of power. Don't we love that?

This decision is pure non sense! no objective criteria to explain why Bardenet is not in the team. What a shame!!

Mal, mal en todos lados hay mafias deportivas, injusta desicion, se merecía con creces su lugar en París 2024, esperemos cambien la desicion y pueda asistir
