Ready for the fight. With this feeling, Guillaume enters the hall prior to the match. Concentration and fighting spirit are deeply internalised. Inside the changing room, everything within him is geared towards one goal. His equipment. Gino's last minutes are focussed solely on his tools. His handball shoes. They are prepared, taped, treated with resin and made ready for battle. [Guillaume Gille]
