Nikola Karabatic celebrates his 40th birthday this April 11. He will retire from the stage in a few months, perhaps on the evening of a new Olympic final.
The two men played together for a long time in the French team, notably winning two Olympic gold medals in 2008 and 2012. “HIS LONGEVITY AND PERFORMANCE make him the BEST PLAYER OF ALL TIME” Didier Dinart, the former coach of the Blues. � “HE IS A MONUMENT, THE GREATEST COMPETITOR I HAVE EVER HAD TO TRAIN” “I’m NOT AMAZED BY HIM, I’M ADMIRING” — Guillaume Gille, the current coach of Ivry. The former partner has been his coach with the Blues since 2020. The Spaniard has been training him every day for almost 6 years. The pair won everything together as a French team: the world and European title in addition to the Olympic gold medal.
