Glorieuse Guillaume

Glorieuse Guillaume (born 6 December 1973) is a Mauritian athlete who competed in judo and weightlifting.

Biography Guillaume was born in Bigarade, on the Mauritian island of Rodrigues, but moved to the island of Mauritius to pursue an athletic career in judo.

She won her first medal, a silver, in the 1990 Indian Ocean Island Games in Madagascar in the under 63 kg category, and then won gold at the 1993 edition of the games. Following that competition, she switched to the under 56 kg category. Guillaume held the title of women's judo champion in Mauritius at several points through her career. She later purchased a house in Dagotière and worked in a factory nearby. Following continued health problems, including osteoporosis that necessitated the use of a cane, she was forced to quit her job and apply for a disability pension. Guillaume was an advocate for the state to provide financial assistance to retired athletes.
