Marine Johannès is one of the world’s most entertaining athletes, the embodiment of the perennial Bruce Lee “be like water” quote: “Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.”
And yeah, the quote was over-recycled even before it became the bulk of Lee’s legacy to a soundbite-sized media landscape, and Lee was discussing mental fortitude rather than physical ability anyway, but it’s still the clearest way to describe Johannès’ game. Listed at an obviously false 5’10” and 134 pounds, she flows through cracks and around obstacles with a grace that is only matched by her flair.
