She did it. Judo athlete Laura Rasoanaivo-Razafy has officially validated her ticket for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. She will compete in the under 70 kg category. The International Judo Federation recently published the list of athletes qualified for the 2024 Olympic Games. “I am hugely relieved after years of work and waiting to be officially qualified. It is a great relief for me after all the sacrifices, psychological and physical pain I have endured (injuries, fatigue, defeats, bitterness, loneliness)”she confided. To obtain this qualification, Laura participated in many tournaments, including the Open, the African and World Championships, as well as the Grand Slams. This dream, which has come true, is also a tribute to her father, Olympian Luc Rasoanaivo-Razafy. The Malagasy Judo Federation did not fail to congratulate the judoka: “Thank you Laura for getting us this precious qualification, you are the pride of the country and of Malagasy judo.”
