Thanks to Marine Camara, Inalco and its Bureau des Sports distinguished themselves at the French University Championships, held in Montluçon from April 6 to 8, 2022. For the third time in her career, and the first time as a representative of Inalco, she won first place in English boxing in her category, the 57 kilos.

Franco-Malian and top-level sportswoman, Marine is notably a member of Mali's Olympic English boxing team. Ranked 15th in the world and African Olympic vice-champion, she has also medaled in several major international tournaments (Eindhoven Box Cup, Haringey Box Cup, Cologne Boxing World Cup...) and trains at the Boxing Club Villeneuve Ablon.

Graduating with a Master's degree from Université Paris Dauphine-PSL, Marine decided to pursue her studies in a Bachelor's degree in mandingue at Inalco, with the aim of realizing her future project: moving to Mali and opening a business firm there, specializing in sport and development.

His next goal: Olympic qualification for the Paris 2024 games!
