Biography

She particularly loves judo because if offers her the chance to walk barefoot and not wear shoes, which she hates. Born in Cameroon in 1990, she moved to Parma when she was only a few months old and where she lived with her five older brothers before joining the Fiamme Gialle team. She was not able to enter the national championships until she obtained Italian citizenship in 2006: since then she has never stopped, winning in Italy and in Europe with two golden medals, one silver and a bronze in the individual section. She loves football and movies, and she has a very prestigious record: in three out of four European championships, she always gained the podium, along with the world championships in 2014. In Rio, her second Olympic experience, she will go for it again.
