UM celebrates its champions
On December 3, the University of Montpellier celebrated the student athletes who flew its flag at the French university championships. Nearly 150 students climbed the podium, 13 of them topping the podium. Here are portraits of these champions in all disciplines.
The University of Montpellier invited its top sportsmen and women to the Motte-Rouge gymnasium. Despite the cold weather on this end-of-year evening, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.

Although not all the athletes were able to make the trip to take part in the ceremony, almost 90 of them came to collect their gifts, symbolic testimony to the pride they have inspired in the university whose colors they have flown so high.
