My Take
Abitbol earns my admiration twice over. On the ice, partnered with Stéphane Bernadis, she was a World bronze medalist, a multiple European medalist and a ten-time French champion, an extraordinary run of consistency in pairs skating. But what moves me more is what she did after the music stopped, finding the courage to speak publicly about abuse she endured and forcing her sport to confront its darkest corners. Her 2022 National Order of Merit reads, to me, as recognition of that fight as much as her medals. Few athletes show such grace on the rink and such steel off it.
