Clarisse Agbegnenou is indeed the boss of those under 63kg! Eleven months after the birth of her daughter, the double Olympic champion offered herself this Wednesday in Doha a sixth world champion title in her eighth final in eight appearances at the Worlds.
Opposed to Slovenian Andreja Leski in a remake of the 2021 final, the Habs first had to curb their opponent’s aggressiveness before trying to find a flaw in their defense. With the approach of the half-fight, the referee considering that the posture of the Slovenian was not correct, she inflicted a first penalty on him. However, barely a minute later, it was Clarisse Agbegnenou who was sanctioned for a false attack.

A final that seemed destined for a conclusion to the Golden Score but everything changed at the edge of the last 30 seconds. On a counter, the Habs managed to overthrow Andreja Leski to score a waza-ari. Not stopping on such a good path, Clarisse Agbegnenou has set up an immobilization. She only had to hold on for ten seconds to win the gold medal and the native of Rennes absolutely did not let go of her prey. As in Budapest two years ago, it was on an immobilization that the Habs validated their sixth world title, enough to put them on the right track on the way to Paris 2024!
