After finishing first in their pool despite the searing heat during the competition, the two young athletes fought in the final to win the coveted medal against Reunion. Led at the start of the match, Amélie and Jade made a superb comeback to win the Tie Break. Charlotte Martinez and Charlotte Claudel, the two young Saint-Martin players from the Kakao Beach Club, take 4th place in U18.
