General
TOKYO QUOTA SPOT REINSTATED
He secured an Olympic quota spot for France in the K1 1000m at the 2021 European Olympic Qualifier in Szeged, Hungary, but was subsequently informed by the International Canoe Federation [ICF] that his participation in the event had been invalidated due to an administrative error. The French National Olympic and Sports Committee [CNOSF], the French Canoe-Kayak Federation [FFCK] and the ICF then contacted the International Olympic Committee [IOC], after which the issue was resolved and the quota spot he earned was reinstated. "My qualification took a strange turn. The road [to Tokyo] was tortuous." (ffck.org, 14 May 2021; midilibre.fr, 25 May 2021; world-today-news.com, 09 Jun 2021; Instagram profile, 19 Jun 2021)

FURTHER EDUCATION
He has undertaken master's studies in management and economic engineering, as well as marketing and production services at the University of Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallee in France. (LinkedIn profile, 19 Jun 2021)
