Allison Pineau, Olympic handball champion: “In France, we have a problem with ambition”. The 34-year-old sportswoman, who dreams of an ultimate challenge this summer, sometimes poorly perceived, confides in her journey and her struggles.
Pineau has experienced everything with the French handball team, from a world title in 2017 to an Olympic coronation in 2021 in Tokyo, including a European crown in 2018.
