In terms of awards, Ugo Legrand (-73 kg category) has won the French championships twice and once as a team. He is also a gold medalist at the team world championships in Paris in 2011 where he also won bronze individually. In addition, he won the 2012 European Championships and won Olympic bronze in London the same year. A great champion’s record for an athlete who stopped in 2005. The crazy challenge that Ugo Legrand sets himself to win a medal at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games is therefore neither trivial nor impossible for this great champion.
