A not exactly smooth recovery. This Friday, October 27, in one of the rooms of the Atch Academy in Aubervilliers (Seine-Saint-Denis), dedicated to MMA and combat sports, Koumba Larroque trains with his coach, Nodar Bokhashvili, for a little over an hour at the beginning of the afternoon, after having suffered a month of downtime the day after his bronze medal in – 68 kg at the World Championships in Belgrade (Serbia), synonymous with a ticket for the Paris Olympics. This session turns out to be physically intense, even if the 25-year-old wrestler keeps her smile. His serenity is also palpable.
