France inbound to UK Challenge

Alan Le Gall, Nikita Nijssen-Séran, Noa Larralde and Annah Abravanel will be there on Wednesday to take on the challenge, Oceanperf UK has been talking to them to get their verdict. 

Annah has proven herself to be one of the best flaggers in the world.

Finishing fourth at the World Championships last year, she’ll put on a lightning quick show at the end of the day.

“If I can put in place everything I want, the result should be good and come back to France with the money.

“I have never competed in the UK, so it’s a great opportunity and race with good athletes.”

Blink… and you’ll miss her.

Coming off the back of victories in the Ironwomen and board race at Oceanperf Challenge France, Nikita is confident she can repeat success in the UK.

When asked, can you win the money?

It was a simple reply of, “Happy to take it : )”

Nikita will be rushing off after the competition to race in Poland at the Youth European championships, there she will be looking to defend her European titles and add to her already stacked collection.

Alan has risen to stardom throughout the last year, being part of the Youth French team at the World Championships last year and finishing with an impressive third at the Red Bull Ocean Rescue, just losing out to Bob Whittaker in a sprint up the beach.

Talking to him, he has his hopes on “winning some dollar”, however only pounds are up for grabs.

With the added excitement of racing abroad for him, the youngster from France is buzzing to get on the start line.
