Lucene, Jean Michel

Jean-Michel Lucien was born in Fort de France - overseas region of France - in 1978 . There, at the age of 6, he began to engage in fencing.

And at the home world championship (in 2010 ), Jean-Michel won the first and so far the only personal medal of the world championship - bronze. And a few months before, the Frenchman became the European champion in the individual championship. ^[one]

At the Olympic Games in London, a team sword was not presented, and at the World Championships in the team tournament of fencers, the French team became the second. ^[5] And in the personal tournament of the Olympics, Jean-Michel did not get into the application.

In 2014 at the European Championships, Jean-Michel Lucien won the bronze in the individual championship, and then became the five-time world champion, winning the gold medal in the team tournament. ^[6]
