The prefect of Gironde announced a relaxation of health measures for the sports world.
Professional athletes will be able to train normally.
Minors too.
On the other hand, there are still differences between the clubs depending on whether he is in the Bordeaux metropolis or not.
Finally.
If Jérémy Sarre is still awaiting an official return from the town hall and the prefecture, the director general of JSA Bordeaux should return to the Palais des Sports with his players on Monday for the first training for two weeks.
Friday, the prefect of Gironde announced a relaxation of its measures for the sporting world while the health situation is improving in the department.
Fabienne Buccio thus authorized the reopening of “gymnasiums, sports halls and stadiums to all outside the Bordeaux metropolitan area”.
In this one, on the other hand, the sports structures will be only open to minors, to students in continuing education and therefore to professional sportsmen.
“We are happy even though it will take time to make up for our lack of training for two weeks.
We will finally be able to do it and participate in our championship under the same conditions as the other teams, in other words in a fair way, ”explains Jérémy Sarre, who saw his basketball team lose its last two games in this period with almost no access to his room.

Professional athletes find a more or less normal life
Thierry Parienty, he found his ice rink this weekend.
The president of the Boxers de Bordeaux witnessed the defeat of his hockey players against Amiens in the Magnus League.
If this “expected” relaxation is “a first step” for him, he always has a little trouble digesting what has just happened: “It disturbed the whole club.
For gamers, there was a recovery issue.
For example, on Friday we were short of legs.
I cannot say that this ban on training did not play on our last results [three losses in four games].

For the past two weeks, he had spent his time finding a solution to continue training while the championship continued.
“These are additional costs.
If I thank the other clubs for having often welcomed us a day earlier to train before the match, it is also more money to spend there.
Since the start of the season, the Covid-19 has already cost us 4 to 5,000 additional euros, ”explains Thierry Parienty.
All professional athletes will therefore be able to return to a more or less normal life from this Monday.
They will be able to play and above all to train again in correct conditions.
A good thing also for the finances of the clubs even if for the matches, the gauge at 1,000 remains.
“Inconsistencies” for amateur sport
In the amateur world, “it's a relief, admits Loïc Cambérou, it was essential for minors because we are in a very important period with the taking of a license and the start of the championships.
We will try to limit the damage and finally play.
The manager of the Arcachon / La Teste handball club and federal technical advisor for the Gironde committee, who had made a rant video strongly relayed thanks to the hashtag #Tuepasmonclub, is still unsatisfied:
“There are still inconsistencies!
Why can't we reopen our locker rooms as an indoor sport when it is possible for others (football, rugby, etc.)?
Either we should not sweat the same… We should sweat Covid-19, or we don't know how to disinfect!
It's incredible.
"
“There are gatherings everywhere, we will let whoever wants on vacation come in a week and at the same time, we still cannot play matches in the metropolis.
I hesitate to redo a video, ”adds Loïc Cambérou in anger.

On this last point, he is joined by all gym professionals.
In particular, those in the Bordeaux metropolis which still cannot reopen.
On Saturday, more than 200 of them demonstrated in Bordeaux.
Some say they could go out of business after a month without activity because the shortfall is enormous for these professionals who recruit up to 50% of their members during this return period.
