Launched into a very tight race for the Olympic selection, Romane Dicko scored points by being crowned European champion over 78 kg for the fourth time in her career, Sunday in Montpellier. Dicko, still undefeated at the continental level after her victories in 2018, 2020 and 2022, beat Israeli Raz Hershko, world No. 1 in the category, in the final like last year, in an expeditious manner. It allows France to offer itself a fifth title in the competition after those of Shirine Boukli (-48 kg), Amandine Buchard (-52 kg), Marie-Eve Gahié (-70 kg) and Luka Mkheidze (-60 kg ).
