Romane Dicko, who was 23 years old in her first Worlds, beat the Brazilian Beatriz Sousa in the final by ippon. “I find it hard to let go [les émotions]but when no one is watching, in the warm-up room, the tears will really flow and I will say to myself that I am really world champion, ”explained the world champion at the microphone of La Chaine L’Equipe.
