PARIS 2024 OLYMPICS: CAMILLE JEDRZEJEWSKI TAKES SILVER!

Medalist in the 25 m pistol event, Camille, an athlete at CREPS Bordeaux, showed her ability to ignore external disturbances and gave French shooting its first podium finish at the Paris Games.

First medal and first podium for French shooting at Châteauroux!

In front of her home crowd at the Châteauroux national shooting center, Camille put in a magnificent performance in her first Olympic Games, winning the silver medal in the 25 m pistol event on Saturday August 3. Up against South Korea’s Yang Jiin in an elimination final, the 22-year-old Frenchwoman remained focused. She brings the French delegation their first shooting medal and their 37th.

Camille joined the Pôle France de Tir Sportif at CREPS Bordeaux in 2017 and hasn’t left since. She trains with Walter LAPEYRE, national coach, and has achieved one performance after another: European champion in 25 m singles and team, she has also won 2 World Cups in this discipline in 2022 and 2024 and 1 World Cup in 10 m.

“I raised my level, it’s true, for the final. Afterwards, I’m a competitor and I loved it […] My coach told me: ‘Stay yourself’. I didn’t get too worked up,” she declared after her final. “I was stressed, I’m not going to lie […] But of course I’m going in with a smile on my face because it was incredible, finally! I was shooting an Olympic final for my first Games! I was very proud of that. There was my family, my public, I knew that people were supporting me. I was happy to be there.”

Thanks to the staff, she said she had used the failure of the 10m to motivate herself and find the resources she needed to succeed in her current favourite distance, the 25m.

At 22, Camille wins her first Olympic medal – the start of an Olympic adventure?

Bravo Camille and Bravo to the staff !!!
