This is a well-deserved honor. As a woman of color, Flessel is a symbol of integration in France. She has earned two Olympic medals, and is a six-time world champion.
She is also a model for the social role of sport. She is a patron of Handicap International and has founded an association to bring fencing to all, in particular to impoverished communities.
She serves on the French Social, Economic, and Environmental Council, a prestigious advisory group.
Closer to us, she is the chair of the national committee against discrimination in sport, a body which includes FGG member organiztion FSGL.
