Five medals in seven international competitions is a feat few can boast of. Ysaora Thibus of Guadeloupe had just won a silver medal in Bulgaria at the May 2023 World Championships when she just took third place at the World Championships in Tbilisi in Georgia on Saturday, June 3, 2023. The foil fencer lost in the semifinals, against Italian Martina Favaretto (15-11), final winner, reports The group.
Ysaora Thibus becomes number 1 in the world in foil thanks to her consistency that arouses admiration
However, this third place is no less a nice medal, adding to the already impressive record of foil fencer Ysaora Thibus. It is this constancy that arouses admiration (do you have the referee?) on all the podiums that allow him to become number 1 in the world, according to the French Fencing Federation which made the good news official on June 5, 2023.
To maintain this status, fencing world champion Ysaora Thibus will still have to prove herself at the European Championships in Plovdiv, Bulgaria from June 16-18, then in Milan from July 22-30. But she bodes well for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
And we can only rejoice for her, but also for all sportswomen, because Ysaora Thibus is one of the few top athletes to express herself and above all to be listened to on the subject of menstruation, so taboo in this ultra-competitive environment.
