Judo: Clarisse Agbégnénou will go to the Worlds two months before the Olympics. Six-time world champion is among the first French judokas selected for these Worlds organized in the emirate.

Just before the Tokyo Games in 2021, the Frenchwoman had already chosen to participate in the Worlds. Romane Dicko (+78 kg) chose to skip these Abu Dhabi Worlds, as well as the European Championships in Zagreb at the end of April.
