Since then, testimonies have multiplied on social media. France Judo declared, "Cyril was a major player in the great successes of the Paralympic team at the Paris 2024 Games. A permanent figure of federal technical management for more than twenty-five years, he was for that time an essential pillar of the construction, recognition and performance of para judo, a cause to which he devoted himself with passion, conviction and enthusiasm.
He was recognised as an expert in this sector well beyond our discipline. France Judo has lost someone of great professional value and for many, they have lost a comrade, a partner on and off the mat."
Cyril Pages was present alongside the French para judo team since 2012. All the members of the international judo community join in the grief of Cyril Pages' family and colleagues and offer them their most sincere condolences.
