Career

The Frenchman appeared internationally for the first time in 2009, when he reached the quarter-finals of the European Schoolchildren’s Championship in singles, in doubles and with the team he even won the gold medal. Further appearances followed in 2010, where Flore won gold in singles at the youth TOP 12 tournament and thus rose continuously in the ITTF world rankings .

At the European Schoolchildren’s Championship in the same year he was even able to reach third place in singles, in doubles, mixed and with the team he won gold medals.

In 2011, after losing to Simon Gauzy and Benjamin Brossier, he reached fourth place in the youth TOP 12 tournament, but this time he was able to win gold again at the European youth championships, both individually and with the team. In addition, he was nominated for the youth world championship, but started only in doubles and mixed, and was able to win bronze with the team. In doubles he failed in the quarterfinals.

In 2012, after good performance, he was even allowed to play in the team world championship in Dortmund , where the French team landed in 18th place, but failed in the group. At the Youth World Cup, Flore was able to win bronze with the team again, as in 2011, with Simon Gauzy he was able to reach the quarter-finals in doubles. He also won three medals at the European Youth Championships, namely in singles, doubles and with the team.

In 2013 he took part in fewer tournaments, but still fell only five places in the world rankings. Among other things, he took part in the Youth World Cup again, where he was able to achieve bronze in doubles and again with the team.

In 2014 he only took part in tournaments for adults, so he was able to reach 13th place with the team at the World Cup in Tokyo, in 2016 the quarter-finals, which were lost 3-2 to England.

In 2016 he also took part in the Korea Open, where he defeated the nos. 10 and 12 in the world rankings with Timo Boll and Marcos Freitas and then only narrowly lost 3: 4 to reigning world champion Ma Long . In the world rankings he improved from 100th to 67th. He also qualified for the team competition at the Olympic Games , where France just failed in the first round to the United Kingdom. At the European Championships , he reached the second round in doubles alongside Emmanuel Lebesson .

At the 2017 EM, he finished third with the team after losing to Germany . At the World Cup, he reached the third round.

In January 2018 he reached a new personal record with number 41 in the world rankings, but was hardly active internationally this year - he competed at the European Championships , but lost in the first round to Benedek Oláh - and fell back a long way.
