She is one of the French heroes who achieved the feat of beating the Japanese on their land and in their national sport last summer at the Tokyo Olympics. Accompanied by the French judo team, Clarisse Agbegnenou defeated the competition favorites to give France a gold medal with a special flavor. A real triumph for the 29-year-old champion who had already won gold in her individual category. A true phenomenon in her sport, the one who was born very premature is already one of the greatest judokas in history.
If all goes well on the tatami mats for Clarisse Agbégnénou, she will experience a big upheaval in her private life. As she announced on her Instagram account last night, the young woman is going to become a mother! To her 106,000 subscribers, the champion learned the good news in a long message. “I officially announce that I will not resume immediately because I am pregnant”, she writes, filled with happiness. She accompanies her beautiful message with a photo of her and her companion, both wearing baby socks in their hands and obviously the lovers do not yet know if it is a girl or a boy ! “We don’t know the gender of the baby yet!!!”she says.
Don’t worry I’ll be back for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games
Reassuring news for fans of the judoka, whose job in the city is very different, since she has been quite discreet lately. “I’ve had a lot of messages related to my absence from the Paris Grand Slam!? And when will I be back on the tatamis!?”she asks in her message, before reassuring everyone about the rest of her career: “So I’m taking a break from my judoka career. But don’t worry, I’ll be back for the 2024 Paris Olympics.”.
News that delighted those close to Clarisse Agbégnénou, like Teddy Riner, who congratulated the couple, as did boxer Estelle Mossely. Margaux Pinot, whom we have heard a lot about lately, also went there with her little message of congratulations.
