This is Audrey Tcheuméo's fifth individual European title, just a few months after winning the Champions League with the Paris Saint-Germain Judo women's team.
In her first bout, the native of Bondy (Seine-Saint-Denis) first beat Russia's Nadezhda Tatarchenko. She then beat Germany's Alina Boehm in the quarter-finals, Israel's Inbar Lanir in the semi-finals and finally another German, Anna-Maria Wagner, world no. 3, in the final.
In the men's event, Georgia's Lasha Bekauri took bronze today in the -90kg category. At the end of thethree days of European individual competition, the Rouge et Bleu and Blue team won four medals.
‘Well done to Audrey! She acted like a champion in this competition, with great determination and an irreproachable mental attitude. She's now a five-time European gold medallist, which is extraordinary. Few French judoka have managed to build up such an impressive record. I'm very proud of her performance.'
