Céline Lebrun retired from international judo. At the Grand Slam of Paris she will be thanked for her amazing tribute to judo, to French Judo and her presence for years in the category U78kg. Now Céline is 34 years but still among the top of the world. In Baku she fought her last international match.
We thank Céline Lebrun for her joy and many medals, an icon for judo.
