Automne Pavia won Olympic bronze at the Olympic Games in London and finished seventh at Rio 2016, returned to competition in 2018 after a two-year absence during which time she started a family. In Marrakech she might be able to collect new points for the Olympic Qualification, but the love for her daughter cannot be compared to the judo business. So Pavia travelled to Marrakech to get things done.

The four-time Grand Prix winner has returned to the same weight category U57kg, but has found the road back to be a challenging one.

Pavia finished fifth at the Abu Dhabi Grand Slam last year and placed seventh at the Paris Grand Slam in February.

France’s world-renowned women’s team also has an abundance of riches at this weight with world number 14 Helene Receveaux and world number 24 Priscilla Gneto leading the way ahead of Pavia in addition to the fast-rising Düsseldorf Grand Slam bronze medallist Sarah Leonie Cysique who is ranked number 21 in the world.
