The one who gave up everything to live from her passion, finished in second place at the freediving world championships in Roatan, Honduras, on Monday. An exceptional silver medal for Alice Modolo, an athlete with a unique background.
Freediver today, the 38-year-old Clermontoise, a long-time dental surgeon, also stood out in an advertisement for a tea park or in Beyoncé’s “Runnin’” clip released in 2015. “It was really incredible. Me, the dentist who found me in a Beyoncé clip. Freediving also gave me that. I could never have imagined all these adventures while staying in my dental practice,” she confided to us.
Already a monstrous track record
But it is above all his sporting career that has impressed for the past ten years. Newly vice-world champion in Honduras, Alice Modolo has a huge track record both nationally and internationally. Three victories in the Coupe de France in dynamic apnea (DYN), four French championships in constant weight (CWT), a silver medal at the Team Worlds and a European Cup title three years ago.
See you on July 30th and 1st for the French Championships ???????? which will take place in the bay of Villefranche. Objective: selection for the world championships in Roatan next August.

The Clermontoise, who has 20 French records, is also the first Frenchwoman to reach -100 m in constant weight (monofin) and record holder in constant weight bi-fins, at 96 meters. Alice Modolo will have the honor of carrying the Olympic flame next year during a freediving relay. A dream for “any athlete”, in his words.
