Last February, you were the victim of an accident which could have cost you your life ... Laura Flessel: Without the tears of my daughter, my husband and I would not be there any more, the doctors certified it to us. When we woke up from gas poisoning in our home, she saved our lives. My daughter returned all the love that had been given to her. Thanks to her, I had a second chance. Today, are you also motivated by fencing? Fencing is still part of my life. I hate to lose. I am haunted by the fear of doing wrong. In competition, I manage to transcend myself, to enter my world, even if I perceive all the signs from the outside. The encouragement of your little girl, in particular? Before, everything depended on the fencing, on the results. Today it has become a game. When I win,it's mainly to reward my husband and my daughter.After your gold medal at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996, how did you manage your career? After Atlanta, I dispersed and it had a negative influence on my performance. I immediately corrected the point. Today, I have my "clan" which takes care of everything that concerns the extra-sportsman. Another Olympic star, Marie-José Pérec has decided to return to competition. What do you think? I am so proud that she is coming back. Not because she is Guadeloupe like me, but because she has proven that she is a great woman. What I love about her is the warrior. If Marie-Jo has launched this challenge, it is because she has the possibilities. I am convinced of it.
