- Chess - (1986 -> 1989)
Setting up a strategy and
keeping concentrated for several hours on a game. Mind-fighting.

Beauty of the deep water sceneries
associated with a self-control to compensate the absence of air.
- Badminton - (1992 -> 1994)
Alliance between extreme power
and acuteness.

What I define as the purest
of all sports. Every competitor in a race is on the same step of equality.
Chance is not involved in this sport, and the competition always ends by
the best person to win. It is also a sport that teaches humility through
it's suffering and its communion with the nature. It also teaches someone
the strength to never give up, even in the worst moment of Life. The physical
suffering is a spring to go over the psychological pain. A robust body
provides a robust mind and vice versa.
Some races are kept in memories
and seem to be unremovable like this race in Genod, a little village of
50 inhabitants in Jura, which sets up, once a year, a 13.2 Km mountain
race, attracting more than 1200 runners in the beautiful sceneries of jura
mountains ...

Giving the best of yourself
can provide you some unexpected awards. I might appear vain, but I'm proud
though, to show what someone can achieve with a strong will and I may introduce
to you my: 27 running, 2 badminton and 1 chess trophies. And about 20 medals
in running, badminton, chess, football ... When one wants something, one
can; it's just a matter of will.
