“Le Parisien” now returns, at the end of each weekend, to all the results and highlights of sporting events in Île-de-France.
The full box of handball
It's rare enough to mention it first.
This weekend, all the Ile-de-France teams involved in the main handball championships won!
The tone was set on Friday evening with Créteil in Starligue.
A week after Montpellier, the Val-de-Marnais club offered a second very important success (31-30) in the fight to maintain, with a Valentin Aman who walks on water (18 goals in two games) .
Full card also in Proligue for Ivry, Massy and Pontault.
The Pontellois, 2nd, are 11 points behind the Ivry leader, future champion of France.
Among the girls, Paris 92 had no problem in Mérignac.
Finally, PSG signed (36-31) this Sunday against Nîmes its 18th victory in as many games.
There too, the title is almost played.

The feat: the Blues of wheelchair rugby champions of Europe
The France team, 6th nation in the world, has succeeded in its first bet: beating England (n°3), gold medalist at the last Paralympic Games, and thus winning its wheelchair rugby Euro (44-43).
His second was to distinguish himself in front of his boiling hot public who came in large numbers to the Halle Carpentier to discover this spectacular sport.
It is also won.
“This popular fervor is a pleasure, says Ryadh Sallem, their number 9, co-president of this championship.
People do not come to encourage disabled people, but the French team.
A year and a half before the 2023 World Cup, which we will be playing at the same time as the able-bodied, the objective was to make this event a launch pad for wheelchair rugby, which has a real identity.

At 51, this warrior born without arms or legs has already rolled his bump well: fifteen times European swimming champion, thirty years of wheelchair basketball at the highest level (his 1st selection for the Games dates from… 1992!) , and therefore rugby in parallel since 2010. “All my life I have fought for accessibility, smiles the player of CAP SAAA (Parisian disabled sports club).
The biggest is that of the heart.
“It now remains for the “bipedal” French team, as Ryadh Sallem nicknames it, the task of avenging the honor against the “perfidious Albion” on the final day of the Six Nations Tournament, March 19.
The perf of the weekend: the volleyball players of Plessis-Robinson
We can't stop them!
A week after having martyred the Montpellier, 5th in the standings, on the dry score of 3 sets to 0, the players of Hauts-de-Seine did it again (3-1) this Saturday against Arago Sète, who occupied the 3rd step of the podium.
Thunderbolt in LAM with the victory of @prvball92 against @aragodesete 3 sets to 1!

Champion of France in Ligue B last year, the promoted Ile-de-France has relaunched in the race to maintain after losing its four previous meetings.
He had above all almost never seen the Elite after his rise on the ground, his file not then responding to the new particularly demanding specifications to evolve in the first division.
Everything was back to normal last July, and no one is complaining.
Apart from Montpellier and Sète, of course.
The gesture of the weekend: Racing 92's call for peace in Ukraine before its match against Castres
