On Sunday, judoka Romane Dicko won the gold medal in Astana. A third Grand Slam victory this season, which bodes well for the Paris Games.
It’s his year. After a gold medal in Paris and Baku, French judokate Romane Dicko stayed the course by winning her third Grand Slam of the season, Sunday May 12 in Astana (Kazakhstan). She was able to confirm her place as world n.1 in +78 kg by winning in the semi-final against the Japanese world champion and reigning Olympic champion Akira Sone. To then knock out the Chinese Su Yin in a few minutes, during the final.
A hope of a medal for the Paris Olympics
Romane Dicko therefore concludes her last competition before the Games in the best possible way. The judokate having chosen not to appear at the World Championships in Abu Dhabi at the end of May. Bronze medalist in Tokyo, world champion in 2022 and quadruple European champion at only 24 years old, gold in Paris does not seem unattainable to her.
