The Alesian Céline Senia leaves Toulouse for the Brive Limousin Triathlon
This is a turning point in the career of high-level sportsman for the Alesian triathlete Céline Senia.
The Alesian triathlete Céline Senia, a 26-year-old student in Montpellier, joined the Brive Limousin Triathlon at the start of the year. “The license is validated from January”, she smiles. The one who is still licensed at the Alès Cévennes Athlétisme Agglomeration (AC2A) has thus come together to end a three-year collaboration with the Triathlon Toulouse Métropole.
A sensitive sports project
While the club of the pink city is only made up of tricolor athletes, that of Brive-la-Gaillarde, which only had foreigners (from Romania, Spain, Italy, etc.), was looking for French and proposed to the young woman to come and complete her ranks. She was thus the second entered, out of the five sportswomen born in France. “In Toulouse, I always liked it. There is the affect, but, after careful consideration, it was interesting, on an individual basis, to go there…”she confides.
Because Céline Senia is seduced by the sports project of her new club. While, to hear it, the probability is strong for Toulouse to descend to the second division of triathlon in 2023, in Brive, in D1 for two decades, “maintenance should be assured in the Top 10” (the category has 13 or 14 clubs and Toulouse usually occupies one of the last two places).
The athlete trains daily in Montpellier
Moreover, apart from the financial aspect, which “was interesting”Brives, “solid club”also offers the Alésienne to, in particular, accompany him during international competitions, which his former club could not afford.
Céline Senia was introduced to her new team two weeks ago, during its general meeting. She specifies: “I’m going to go back there this weekend to pick up some equipment: my bike, outfits, etc.” The athlete qualified to train daily in Montpellier, 20 hours a week, and should travel to Corrèze during internships and some training.
