Pressure in sports is like cholesterol, a famous colleague wrote years ago: there is good and bad. A right click will activate the athlete, a wrong click will stop them. Camille Jedrzejewski is clearly in the first scenario, while a number of his colleagues from the French drawing team are in the second.
A sport where nothing is more important than creating an airtight bubble around your body, a discipline that loved Baron Pierre de Coubertin (many times the French shooting champion) requires you to either ignore the disruptive elements that come from the outside, or to feed on it. Among them: “pressure”, therefore, has participated in the Olympic Games at home; in this case in Châteauroux, where the Olympic shooting event is organized.
Having arrived all smiles in the final hall of the National Shooting Sports Center (CNTS), the 22-year-old from Picardy left with a silver medal around his neck, and a few tears of joy in his eyes, Saturday August 2.

Far from being the Salle Pleyel, the CNTS of Châteauroux is also equipped with a time delay display system: one or two seconds is necessary before the image of the goal, hit, appears on the screen or not. Result: cheers for the previous shot start when the shooter starts to attack his arm for the next shot (he has seven seconds for this).
“The goal is to catch me fast”
The visual and audio changes did not suit Camille Jedrzejewski. There is no more than the intervention of a lawyer on his side, between the 3rd and 4th series, who came to put it back in a place where the fixed plexiglass anti-casing wall: weapons used from your Chinese neighbor and the rival, Zhao Nan, was. in fact is projected against him, at the risk of making him lose his concentration. Undoubtedly, it would have taken more to say it. In the Bordeaux-based Source and Expert and Sports Center that is available all year round, does the trainer Walter Lapeyre not always block your attention during training?
