Six Monegasque athletes will be taking part in the Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo.
H.S.H. Prince Albert II has presented the athletes who will be defending the colours of the Principality at the XXXII Olympiad.
Olympic Day: the pleasure and joy of getting together again
After months of uncertainty, the Monegasque Olympic Committee sent out a strong message, in the presence of H.S.H. Prince Albert II accompanied by Crown Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella.
For Quentin Antognelli (rowing), Tokyo via Varese
03/04/2021 : The Monegasque rower will attempt to secure his ticket for the Tokyo Olympics (single scull) at the European Olympic qualification regatta (5-7 April).
“I feel in quite good shape. I feel as though I have gained momentum since the French national tests where I got into the finals. That’s rather a good sign.” Quentin Antognelli (26) admits: without being overly optimistic, the Monegasque rower is calm: “Technically, I feel more at ease. That bodes quite well.”
Table tennis: Xiaoxin Yang achieves a remarkable feat in qualifying for Tokyo
The table tennis player is the first Monegasque athlete to seal her ticket for the upcoming Olympic Games. A cutting performance which will be remembered.
It was her dream. Her dream came true. At 33, standing 1m55, Xiaoxin Yang has just realised the ultimate dream of any athlete: to qualify for the Olympic Games. An outstanding achievement for the “red and white” player (who will therefore be competing in Tokyo from 23rd July to 8th August) and for Monegasque sport.
