3-time world bronze medalist Kouba Larroque aiming for gold at home Olympics｜Paris 2024｜wrestling

Koumba Larroque is one of the brightest medal prospects for France ahead of the Olympics, in the sport of wrestling. France is not known as a wrestling stronghold but the 25-year old was one of the earliest qualifiers for the event in Paris adding a bit of pressure before her compatriots joined. Born in Arpajon south of the capital she started wrestling at the age of nine following in the footsteps of her brothers who practiced the sport locally. Larroque participated at Tokyo 2020 and despite not winning any Olympic medals she has a prolific record at the World Championships winning three bronze medals and a silver medal back in 2018. Her toughest opponents in the 68 KG category could be the current top two Enkhsaikhany Delgermaa of Mongolia and Buse Tosun of Turkey. The World number three in her weight category has struggled in the past against central Asian opponents, especially Mongolians, whose style is focused on utilising their upper body strength. Larroque is looking forward to wrestling in front of a home crowd and believes that with that advantage it can help her go further than before and win that all-elusive gold medal.
