Just seven months ago, the best judoka in the world, Clarice Agbenino, celebrated the double gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, when she took part in the individual and team competition, and here today (Tuesday) she has another good reason to celebrate.
Agbenino, who competes in the weight category up to 63 kg, and Jordan Jerby's best friend, informed her followers on social media that she is pregnant for the first time and still intends to go back in time, to keep her title and take the gold at the 2024 home Olympics as well.
"I had a lot of messages related to my absence at the Grand Slam Paris !? And when will I be back on the mattress !?", the judoka said.
I am now officially announcing that I will not continue immediately because I am pregnant.
This is something I expected as a woman. "

"So I'm taking a break from my judo career. But do not worry about me - I'll be back to the Paris Olympics in 2024. PS: We still do not know the sex of the baby."
In addition to the two Olympic medals from Tokyo, Agbenino also has the silver medal from the Rio 2016 Olympics as well as 5 World Champion titles, two silver medals and five more European Champion titles.
