A WEEK WITH SHIRINE BOUKLI

Shirine BOUKLI, a name that has been rapidly gaining recognition in the world of judo, is a truly remarkable athlete. With her exceptional skills and unwavering determination, she has quickly risen through the ranks and is now considered one of the most prestigious opponent in the -48kg category. 

What sets Boukli apart from other athletes is not just her technical prowess, but also her mental strength and resilience. Despite facing numerous challenges and setbacks along the way, she has always managed to bounce back stronger than ever. Her ability to stay focused in the face of adversity is truly inspiring, and it is a testament to her unwavering commitment to her craft.

One of Boukli’s most notable achievements came in 2020 when she won gold at the European Judo Championships in the under-48kg category. She doubled up in Sofia during the 2022 edition and a few weeks ago, on home soil, she tripled her glory. In addition, she took silver at this year’s World Championships.

As Boukli’s journey in judo continues, the future looks incredibly bright for this first-rate athlete. With her sights set on the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympic Games, and having been officially selected, there is no doubt that she will leave a lasting impact on the sport, right by her front door.
