Renowned judoka and accomplished champion Romane Dicko doesn’t let anyone dictate how she should look. Forget the dictates of thinness: the athlete appears in skimpy attire for the Sans Complexe brand, full of confidence, to celebrate her body as it is. A powerful gesture that resonates beyond the mats, in the fashion world and on social media.
“Weighing 125 kilos is normal.”
Recently invited onto theset of C à Vous , Romane Dicko spoke with refreshing sincerity about her approach: “There are a lot of women, especially young ones, who have complexes about their bodies and feel very bad about their excess weight. That’s why I wanted to show that, well, weighing 125 kilos isn’t a big deal, it’s normal!” Simple words, but full of meaning, which reflect a journey where self-confidence and body acceptance have always been essential drivers.
Romane isn’t just an athlete who dominates the mats. She’s also an activist in the body-positive movement, which advocates self-love, the celebration of all body types, and the liberation of women from imposed standards. By posing proudly in skimpy attire, she doesn’t just offer glamorous images: she offers a message, a clear and necessary affirmation in a world obsessed with thinness.
A word that does good
Romane Dicko’s speech comes at a time when social pressure on women’s bodies remains omnipresent. Social media, fashion magazines, and even certain sports circles continue to glorify a slim figure as the ideal. However, Romane demonstrates that performance, power, and beauty are not measured in pounds.
“It’s important to show that you can be athletic, strong, and at the same time accept your body as it is,” she explains. This statement is not insignificant: it is aimed directly at young women, and more broadly at all those who doubt themselves when faced with unrealistic standards.
Her liberating speeches and photos for the Sans Complexe brand are like a breath of fresh air. They remind us that beauty comes in many shapes, sizes, and shades, and that every body deserves to be celebrated. In a world where we’re often told what we “should” be, seeing a top-level champion show off her unfiltered body is a real breath of fresh air.
A campaign that breaks the codes
Romane Dicko doesn’t just talk the talk: she takes action. Her photos for the brand Sans Complexe, both elegant and uninhibited, send a powerful message: it’s possible to feel beautiful, glamorous, and strong without conforming to imposed standards. These photos aren’t just aesthetic; they’re activist.
Romane’s massive, muscular body is a testament to her athleticism and inner strength. Yet, it also defies stereotypes that suggest femininity and physical strength cannot coexist. She proves that one can be both a top-level athlete and fully embody one’s femininity, with confidence and pride.
Beyond the image, a whole philosophy emerges: that of self-acceptance, confidence, and emancipation. It invites each person to look at their reflection with kindness, to detach themselves from unrealistic injunctions, and to celebrate what they really are.
An example to follow
Romane proves that physical strength, talent, and discipline don’t depend on your size or weight. Body diversity can and should be represented, in sports as well as elsewhere. By proudly showing off in a skimpy outfit for the Sans Complexe brand, she has become an inspiring role model. Not only for her impressive athletic career, but also for her courage in challenging norms and encouraging self-acceptance.
The judoka teaches us an essential lesson: weight is not a barrier to beauty or power. On the contrary, accepting your body can become a real strength, a weapon against social pressures and a way to inspire others. Her message resonates: every body deserves to be celebrated, every person deserves to feel beautiful and powerful, and every pound is perfectly okay.
In short, weighing 125 kilos and accepting your body is not just an act of courage: it’s an act of liberation, a manifesto for all those who finally want to feel good about themselves. Thanks to Romane Dicko, the body becomes a place of expression, pride, and pleasure, and reminds us that the real weight is that of the judgments we choose to ignore.
