MICKAEL MAWEM - ON THE WAY TO THE TOKYO OLYMPICS

Massy, exit of the RER B, a car stops, the door opens, Mickael Mawem invites us to follow him for a training day. In a few words, Mickael Mawem, 30 years old, climber of the French team is one of the only 2 French climbers with his older brother Bassa qualified for the Tokyo Olympics.

Climbing in the Mawem family is a family story. No time to dawdle, Mickael takes us to a first climbing gym in Massy to work on the speed test : he needs only 6s to reach the top of a 10m wall. Impressive! He took the opportunity to give some advice to the younger generation present that morning, to share his training and off we went again, to the training room for the bouldering event! 5-6 hours of non-stop training, Mickael Mawem is a hard worker, and we understand why he made the Olympics the biggest goal of his already busy career.

Mickael Mawem is one of the "monsters" of French climbing, but he is also a very nice person who likes to share his passion with the people around him.
