French Olympic judo champion Clarisse Agbegnenou entered the Musée Grévin on Monday 3 October. At 29, Clarisse Agbegnenou has the best record of French women’s judo with five world titles, five European titles and two gold medals won at the Tokyo Games last year, including the individual title (-63 kg).
