At just 20 years old, Lucie Décosse is the rising star of French judo.
But in 2004 and 2008, she lost in the finals of the Athens and Beijing Games and failed to realize her dream of an Olympic gold medal.
By changing category, she managed to silence her doubts and became, on August 1, 2012 in London, Olympic judo champion in the under 70 kg category.
For Le Sacre, Lucie Décosse speaks into Anne-Laure Bonnet's microphone.
Every Wednesday until the Paris 2024 Games, she receives an athlete who talks about their journey to the gold medal.
