Isabelle Yacoubou: “We are conditioned to tell ourselves that we cannot be a mother and an athlete”

Her imposing hair, with her long blue-white-red braids, and her smile remain one of the strong images of the London Olympics in 2012. For almost ten years, Isabelle Yacoubou (36) was part of all the adventures of the Blues (147 caps from 2007 to 2016), participated in the many successes of the French basketball team, culminating in the title of European champion in 2009 or the silver medal at the 2012 Olympics.
