Sports cafe. The birthday of a Brazilian handball player, the memory of Émile Salvador… Welcome to the sports café!
The birthday
Today is an ex’s birthday. That of the former Grand Nancy handball player, Ales Silva (36). The Brazilian pivot passed by Nancy between 2019 and 2021 then joined Caen in the Proligue. But he terminated his contract and returned home last October.
It happened on February 6
Emotion at the Maison des Sports in Tomblaine, on Sunday February 6, 2011, when Émile Salvador handed over the baton, after seventeen years as chairman of the Lorraine Handisport Committee. Passionately devoted to the cause of disability and fulfillment through sport, Émile Salvador died a few months later, at the age of 75.
