Agbegnenou was close to death from birth: “They said to my parents: 'We must unplug it'”

The sporting fate of a champion, or a champion, can only be wire. But sometimes the stakes are much greater. It is then a question of life and death. Clarisse Agbegnenou would not only have been able to never have a career in judo, but she told Tuesday evening in the program C à Vous on France Televisions that she almost died shortly after her birth.

I was very premature with my twin brother. I fell into a coma , declared the double Olympic champion in judo, titled in individual (-63 kg) and in the mixed team event this summer in Tokyo. They resuscitated me and said I had a little health problem, a kidney that was malformed. They operated on me two weeks later so that I wasn’t too weak… but I was not coming back . “

“It was the first fight”

His vital prognosis was engaged. Worse, the doctors no longer even had the hope of saving her, according to Agbegnenou (28 years old): ” They said to my parents: ‘You have to unplug it, it’s complicated.’ My parents said, ‘No, no, no. She’s a fighter, she’s going to fight.’ They waited a few weeks, a few days, and they came back with specialists and said, ‘Okay, she’s not coming back, we’re going to unplug her …’, and at that point I woke up . “

The five-time world champion (individually) ended this story with a formula, which was suggested to her on the plateau: “ It was the first fight . ” In the rest of the interview, Clarisse Agbegnenou explained in particular that she was overflowing with energy in her youth. Hence the birth of her vocation: “ My director said: ‘We can’t take it anymore, we must she does a combat sport ‘ “. His choice fell on judo without much conviction… “ and I fell in love “she concludes.
