“You are very moved… What does this first individual world medal provide?
What I feel is indescribable. To be on a podium in front of the Eiffel Tower, at home, with Tony Estanguet giving the medal… I’m sorry, I can’t hold back my tears, but I’m super happy, it’s incredible. The final was down to nothing, Casey (Kaufhold, the American) was incredibly strong, I tried to keep up, she set the tone. It bodes well for the future, it’s been a long time since I’ve been at such an important level of performance.
“I fought like a lioness to get here, and it gives me so much hope for the future”
Was it important to be able to play these matches in the future arena of the Olympic Games?
It is an incredible chance. Well, I wouldn’t say it’s luck, because I fought like a lioness to get there, and that gives me so much hope for the future. I kept watching the flag go up during the (American) anthem, pinching myself and saying ‘hold that feeling, because next time you’ll be on top’.
The place is important, but what played the most part was knowing that my parents were behind me, that my lifelong friends are there, that my darling is behind me (the archer Thomas Chirault), that the people are all for my cause. All the emotions I can give them, that’s what’s most important.
What information have you taken for next year?
I took into account what happened with the wind, especially during the final where it changed, I found myself on the left, on the right, but not in the 10. We also take the temperature of the public, even if it is six times smaller than the Olympics. »
