3. Taekwondo – Mont La Salle, Lebanese Champion... For the 35th Consecutive Time

Dynasty, consistency, and a winning culture: Mont La Salle has racked up a 35th consecutive title in both the men's and women's competitions. Lebanese taekwondo continues to speak the dialect of Ain Saadé.

Mont La Salle did not falter. In a tough championship, the Ain Saadé club secured two new national titles and extended a unique streak: thirty-five seasons without relinquishing the throne, in both the men's and women's competitions. A metronomic consistency, built on the depth of the squad, the quality of the staff, and a non-negotiable culture of performance.

The Mont La Salle Touch

Behind the numbers lies a signature style: managing key moments, density per category, and the ability to turn every final into an opportunity. The Zarifehs in the lightweight series, Giorgio Mansour's impact in the 68 kg category, Laetitia Aoun's vision, and Rea Chouli's reliability attracted the points. In the heavyweight division, the Mont La Salle team held its own against Al-Liwaa and Combat Arena.

A Dynasty That Commands Respect

Thirty-five in a row is more than just a list of achievements: it's a standard. In pursuit of the Ain Saadé steamroller, Al-Liwaa, Anwar, Antranik, and Besançon are progressing and gaining ground. But to break the deadlock, they will have to go the distance... and make it count when it matters most. In the meantime, Lebanon has its champion, and the green and white dynasty continues to dominate the horizon.
