Jade Coradidi and Léonore Rémy: Aramis Had Already Spotted Their Potential

The Challenge Aramis had already provided some strong indications. In Lyon, Jade Coradidi and Léonore Rémy had dominated the women’s individual performance rankings. A few weeks later, both confirmed their place among France’s leading U15 épée fencers at the 2026 Fête des Jeunes.

Sometimes, it is necessary to look beyond the podium.

At the Challenge Aramis, held in Lyon on 23 and 24 May, Léonore Rémy and Jade Coradidi delivered two particularly significant performances. At the end of the competition, Léonore topped the women’s individual performance ranking, just one point ahead of Jade.

Two different profiles and two different teams, but the same conclusion: both fencers consistently influenced their matches and demonstrated remarkable consistency throughout the weekend.

Those early signs were no coincidence. The Fête des Jeunes, one of the most demanding national events in the U15 category, has now given them even greater significance.

Two Fencers Immediately Setting the Pace

From the pool round of the individual competition, Jade Coradidi and Léonore Rémy imposed their rhythm, occupying the first two places in the provisional ranking.

Both then progressed to the last 16.

Léonore’s journey ended at that stage, in a competition where pressure and expectation inevitably take on a particular importance. Nevertheless, finishing among the final 16 fencers in France provides further confirmation of her level.

For Jade, the journey continued all the way to the final.

The Fosses Escrime fencer claimed the individual silver medal, becoming French U15 vice-champion behind Thessa Ambroise. It was a major achievement in a competition bringing together the best young épée fencers in France.

Further Confirmation in the Team Competition

The following day, Jade continued the competition as part of the Île-de-France team, alongside Alice Fodor, Colombe Vautherin and Rose Viret.

The regional team finished third in the National 1 competition, behind Hauts-de-France and the Auvergne–Rhône-Alpes team of Thessa Ambroise, Audrey Debeaumorel, Charlotte Poulleau and Juliette Savigner.

This team result extended the momentum already seen in Lyon, where Jade had helped Fosses 95 reach second place at the Challenge Aramis after the team had finished top of the rankings following the pool round. The Île-de-France club lost the final by the narrowest possible margin, 36–35, against Corbas / AURA 1.

Léonore also ended her weekend with a team success. Alongside Louise Beauvois, Lou-Anne Godebert Rix and Ivana Rollin, she won the National 2 competition representing Bourgogne–Franche-Comté.

The Work of a Club and Its Fencing Master

Jade’s success also highlights the work carried out at Fosses Escrime.

For several years, her fencing master, Sébastien Bichascle, has developed and supported a particularly successful group of young female fencers. This individual silver medal, complemented by a national team podium, therefore rewards not only the talent of one young athlete, but also the continuity of a long-term training project.

Behind every result lie countless hours of training, a supportive club environment, technical guidance and a collective structure capable of helping young fencers progress over time.

This is precisely the dimension that the Challenge Aramis intends to highlight more strongly: not only individual performances, but also the work of training clubs and fencing masters who develop the talents of tomorrow.

Aramis as a Testing Ground Ahead of Major Competitions

The close connection between the performances achieved in Lyon and those recorded a few weeks later in Paris confirms the sporting value of the Challenge Aramis.

In Lyon, Léonore Rémy recorded the best women’s individual performance index at +27, narrowly ahead of Jade Coradidi at +26. These figures had already identified them as two of the most consistent and influential fencers in the competition.

At the Fête des Jeunes, they confirmed that assessment:

• first and second places after the pool round;

• two appearances in the last 16 of the individual competition;

• an individual silver medal for Jade;

• a National 1 team podium for Jade;

• a National 2 team title for Léonore.

The silver medal won by the AURA women’s team should also be highlighted. Their coach acknowledged the contribution made by the Challenge Aramis to the team’s strong performance.

The role of a preparatory and talent-identification competition can also be measured in this way: through its ability to reveal, several weeks before a major national event, the young athletes who will later rise to the occasion.

In Lyon, the first signs were already visible.

In Paris, Jade Coradidi and Léonore Rémy turned them into results.
