En remportant la médaille d'or olympique à Londres le 1er août 2012, Lucie Décosse décroche enfin son Graal. L'apogée d'une carrière qui a conduit la Française à se doter du plus beau palmarès du judo féminin, elle qui détenait déjà trois titres de championne du monde.
Son histoire est d'abord celle d'un garçon manqué qui ne vivait que pour le sport. Une métisse qui va révéler son potentiel exceptionnel en Guyane, la terre de ses racines maternelles où elle passe son adolescence. Elle s'impose ensuite très vite comme une surdouée du judo à qui tout le monde promet les sommets de cette discipline. Mais il lui faudra combattre plus de dix ans pour atteindre son objectif olympique. La surdouée devient une travailleuse infatigable, l'incarnation d'une volonté exemplaire.

Mais il lui faudra combattre plus de dix ans pour atteindre son objectif olympique. La surdouée devient une travailleuse infatigable, l'incarnation d'une volonté exemplaire.
Avec le récit de sa vie, celle que l'on surnomme la secrète lève le voile de l'intimité d'une athlète hors du commun. Une combattante qui se révèle avant tout une femme.
Longtemps dans l'ombre d'un Teddy Riner focalisant l'attention médiatique, la Guyanaise rappelle que le judo français se conjugue aussi au féminin. Et qu'une fois ôté son kimono, Lucie peut chausser des talons hauts.
Judokate française, Lucie Décosse est triple championne du monde et championne olympique. Brice Perrier est journaliste indépendant et réalisateur de documentaire. Il a collaboré avec les magazines Technikart, GQ et Grazia ainsi qu'avec l'émission de France 3 Strip Tease. Il a notamment publié avec le sociologue Michel Maffesoli L'Homme postmoderne chez François Bourin éditeur.
