Karate Champ’s Path To Achieve Gold While Managing Diabetes

When the COVID-19 pandemic forced the postponement of the Tokyo Summer Olympics and threatened everything that Alizée Agier had been working toward, she knew that it was another challenge that she would have to surmount.

You see, Agier has been here before.

When you win the French national karate title at 17, things are going pretty well. The possibility to make a living out in the sport you love — the dream of so many — seems suddenly within your grasp.

But it hasn’t been smooth sailing for Agier.

Two years after her first national title, a headache during training turned into a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. Suddenly the path, the future, the opportunities, everything she had worked for, were in doubt.

There were changes to come and things to learn about how to adapt to her physical needs while still training and competing at the highest level.
