Hugues Obry resigns from his position as manager of the French epee team. Olympic champion Romain Cannone, Yannick Borel and Alexandre Bardenet had distanced themselves from INSEP to return to train in their respective clubs.
Gauthier Grumier, his deputy, team gold medalist and individual bronze medalist at the Rio Olympics in 2016, was acting in the interim. He actually proposed a coaching mission to the athletes who remained to training in the heart of the Bois de Vincennes.
