Anna Gomis (born October 6, 1973 in Tourcoing ) is a French wrestler . She was multiple world and European champion and won a bronze medal at the 2004 Olympic Games .

Career

Anna Gomis started wrestling in 1988. At that time she joined the Lutteur Club de Tourcing , where a women's department had already been founded in 1979. In this association, the youngsters were particularly encouraged by a team led by President Gilbert Schaub. Anna Gomis, who developed into a world-class athlete in just a few years, also benefited from this. In her career, which has been going on for an unusually long time, she has had several coaches. They were Rashid Gilmanou, Gerard Santoro , Didier Faveri, Alain Berger, Iwan Tsochew and Richard Chelmowski.

In 1988 Anna Gomis became French junior champion (Cadets = up to the age of 16) in the class up to 38 kg body weight. She started for the first time with the senior women in 1992 at a French championship and came third in the weight class up to 50 kg. She won her first French championship title in 1993 in the weight class up to 50 kg. Until 2009, she is still active in 2009, she then won twelve more French championship titles.

Anna Gomis made her first start in an international championship at the European championship in 1993 in Ivanovo . In the weight class up to 50 kg she came in 3rd place behind the Russian Lilia Islamowa and the Ukrainian Angela Belous and won a medal. At the World Championships in Larvik in Norway that year , she should be even more successful. She started there in the weight category up to 50 kg and immediately won the world title ahead of Shannon Williams from the United States and Joko Endo from Japan .

In 1994 she was unable to defend the world championship title from 1993, but after a defeat in the final against Miyu Ikeda from Japan, she at least came in second. Anna Gomis also won a medal at the 1995 World Cup in Moscow . She came in 3rd place in the weight class up to 57 kg behind Sara Eriksson from Sweden and Lene Aanes from Norway.

1996 was an unusually successful year for her. First she became European champion in Oslo in the weight class up to 53 kg and then she also became world champion in Sofia in the same weight class, where she won the final against Canadian Jennifer Ryz . In 1997 Anna Gomis repeated these successes. In Warsaw she was European champion ahead of Lene Aanes and Sara Eriksson and thus practically turned the result of the 1995 European championship on its head. In addition, she was again world champion in the weight class up to 57 kg in Clermont-Ferrand . In the final, she defeated the strong Japanese Mariko Shimizu .

Anna Gomis' success continued over the next few years. In 1998 she was again European champion in Bratislava in the weight class up to 56 kg before Sara Eriksson. At the World Championships this year in Poznan , however, she lost the final fight in the same weight class against the experienced Norwegian Gudrun Annette Høie by just a few points and was runner- up in front of Sara Eriksson and the Russian Natalja Iwaschko .

In 1999, Anno Gomis won the title twice for the third time. She became European champion in Götzis and world champion in Swedish soil, both times in the weight class up to 56 kg. She left her old competitors Sara Eriksson, Gudrun Annette Høie and Mariko Shimizu, as well as the Russian Natalja Karamtschatkowa and the Ukrainian Tetjana Lasarewa behind.

With these successes Anna Gomis had reached the absolute peak of her career. She shouldn't win another international title in the years to come. The 2004 Olympic Games in Athens became a highlight of her career . These games included competitions in women's wrestling for the first time. She managed to qualify to participate. In Athens she started in the weight class up to 55 kg body weight. She won there first over Lee Nae-Lae from South Korea and Sofia Poumpouridou from Greece clearly on points. Then she met in a preliminary decision on the as unbeatable Japanese Saori Yoshida , who delivered a balanced fight and only extremely close with 6: 7 techn. Was subject to points. After this defeat she defeated Ida-Theres Nerell from Sweden again clearly on points (6: 0 technical points) in the battle for the bronze medal .

At the European Championships in 2005, where she came second, and at the European Championships in 2006 and 2007, where she came in third, Anna Gomis did very well again. However, she did not win any medals at world championships. Also for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing , she could no longer qualify.

Anna Gomis, who studied sport, is now passing on her knowledge and experience to the young wrestlers in Tourcoing. In September 2009 she was inducted into the FILA International Wrestling Hall of Fame for her services to wrestling .
