Fifth world title in Budapest, two gold medals in Tokyo … Clarisse Agbegnenou had an exceptional year 2021. The judokate was voted best sportswoman of the year by the editorial staff of France TV Sport, just ahead of Fabio Quartararo, who became the the first Frenchman to become MotoGP world champion last October.

“I’m totally high”, had she reacted Sunday August 1 on franceinfo, the day after France’s gold medal in the very first mixed team event in judo in Tokyo, and just days after its Olympic title in the under 63 kg category. Enough to end the year 2021 in style, after brilliantly winning his fifth world title in June in Budapest (Hungary) where she won her five fights by ippon (for the fourth consecutive time). Performances that have not passed inot noticed within the editorial staff of France TV Sport.

However, there were good people to claim this distinction, like the Nice Fabio Quartararo, sparkling in MotoGP or the cyclist Julian Alaphilippe, world champion who managed to keep his title. Antoine Dupont, voted best player in the world by World Rugby or Alexis Pinturault, winner of the big crystal globe in alpine skiing, were also very good contenders.
