In Liqui Moly Starligue, PSG will continue to pursue their crazy gamble of ending the season with plenty of wins.
The players of the capital, already assured of the title, will go this Sunday, May 22 to Chartres (10th) to score a 26th success.
The event: the Compiègne Internationals
TRAINING.
Dressage, the third major equestrian discipline after show jumping and eventing, is in the spotlight from this Friday, May 20 and until Sunday, in the magnificent Grand Parc equestrian stadium, located in the middle of of the forest of Compiègne.

The place to be: the Champs-Élysées for Urban Tennis
To celebrate the start of the final draw of the Roland-Garros tournament this Sunday, May 22, everyone is invited to try their hand at Urban tennis on the avenue des Champs-Élysées, with an introduction to this activity accessible to all. .
As part of the “Paris Respire” day, the most beautiful avenue in the world will indeed be completely pedestrianised.
For the occasion, eight courts measuring 6 by 12 meters as well as three half-wall courts will be set up in the heart of the Champs-Élysées, between rue Galilée and avenue George V. From 11 a.m. until 5 p.m., equipped with a suitable racket (21 inches), families, friends or tourists will have the opportunity to discover another way of playing tennis.

BASKETBALL.
A week after having grilled a joker during a frustrating defeat at Feytiat (78-70), Sceaux will have to come to his senses for his last meeting in the final stages of the Women's National 1.
Chris Singleton's players can still hope to reach Ligue 2 if they win this Saturday, May 21, with a minimum of 11 points difference, on the Monaco floor.
In the first leg, the Scéennes lost 57 to 67. A complicated challenge since Sceaux will evolve without its leader Aminata Konaté (injured) - "the best player in the championship in her position", according to Singleton.
“We know that the mission will not be easy, I was told that there could be 1,000 people in the room, confides the president scéen Jean-Marc Pérez.
But we will put a candle in the church and we will fight to the end to raise this handicap by 10 points.
It would be nice to see a team from the Ile-de-France in Ligue 2 again, especially two years before the Games in Paris.

Sceaux is the last Ile-de-France team to have played at the highest level in France, the Women's League, during the 2001-2002 season.
