Do the European and global successes of the Lebrun brothers have an effect on table tennis in Dordogne? We take the example of one of the most fashionable clubs, that of ASTT in Terrasson, to verify the influence of Alexis and Félix in Périgord.
To see the possible influence and benefit of the victories of Félix Lebrun and his brother Alexisafter the Olympic medals, the titles at the European Championships and very recently the place of world number one in doubles, in table tennis in Dordogne. To do this, we invited Roger Willeryvice-president of ASTT, the Terrasson table tennis club, to confirm or refute it.
The influence of the Lebrun brothers is rather measured in Terrasson
Alexis Lebrun et Félix Lebrun have continued excellent performances since their bronze medals, individual and team, at the Paris Olympic Games in summer 2024. They have become the stars of their discipline. Also winners in individual and doubles at the European Table Tennis Championships, Alexis and Félix won the major international doubles tournament and became world number one last weekend. Unprecedented for French table tennis. Do these magnificent results have an influence on attendance and interest in this sport within ASTT, the Terrasson table tennis club ? We asked the question to our guest, the vice-president of the club, Roger Willery and for the latter, yes there is a Lebrun brothers effect, but it remains moderate and above all attracts curiosity.
