French boxer Estelle Mossely announced that she wanted to participate in the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024 to try to win a second gold medal, after her Olympic title in Rio in 2016.
“It would be a great source of pride to represent my country again in a big competition. This is what made me make my decision in the end. I asked myself questions for a long time, is it worth it or not, will I regret it, will I find the desire again or not ”, explained Mossely on France Info Wednesday evening.

Sacred in Rio in light weight (less than 60 kilos) in 2016, the boxer has since gone professional. “The urge comes back and say to yourself that it is at home, that made you switch, and made me say that I had to do it. Maybe after that I would stop, who knows, ”she continued. Aged 29, Estelle Mossely said that “for the next three years to come, my goal is the Olympics, it’s an Olympic double. The Olympics yes, but I am aiming for gold, I am only aiming for gold ”.
The native of Créteil was also crowned amateur world champion in 2016 in the same lightweight category.
