She is the best rugby sevens player in the world. Elected on December 9, Anne-Cécile Ciofani, is the first Frenchwoman to obtain this distinction, awarded by World Rugby, the international body of the oval ball. “It’s a dream come true. It’s always a pleasure to receive this kind of award, especially when you know that you are the first in your country to win it”, underlines the 27-year-old player, guest of Tout Le Sport on Wednesday, December 29.
Anne-Cécile Ciofani had shone this summer at the Tokyo Games under the jersey of the France team at 7, which won its first Olympic medal with silver. If she is looking forward to the 2022 World Cup, for her, “the biggest deadline remains the Paris Games in 2024”. With this new distinction, Anne-Cécile Ciofani hopes to inspire young women. “I receive a lot of players, who wonder about our daily life as top athletes. I take pleasure in answering them and above all, in encouraging them.”
