Career

Agricole entered the 2010 Commonwealth Games held in Delhi, India. Before the competition she had seen doctors about headaches she had been suffering which were put down to migraines. During the competition she suffered an elbow injury but managed to finish in fourth place. During the competition she was still having bad headaches, but while in the games village she lost her vision and blacked out. She was rushed to hospital where a scan showed a brain tumour. Aater undergoing an operation, she remained in Delhi for another 45 days to help her recovery. She underwent another major operation in November 2011. 12 months later she was declared fit to begin weightlifting again, and entered the National Championships in November 2012.

Since her return she came second at the 2013 Commonwealth Championships, fourth at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, and 26th at the 2015 World Weightlifting Championships. Agricole won three medals (one silver and two bronze) at the 2015 All-African Games held in Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo.

In 2015 she began to train with an American coach Kyle Pierce and ranked first at the IOIG. She won three medals in the 63 kg (139 lb) category (one silver and two bronze) at the 2015 African Games held in Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo with a 91 kg (201 lb) snatch, and a 115 kg (254 lb) clean and jerk. She ranked 26th at the World Weightlifting Championships.
Despite winning three bronze medals at the African Weightlifting Championships in 2016, the Seychelles Weightlifting Association did not put Agricole on the team to participate to the Olympic Games. She stopped training with the national coach William Dixie and September 2016 began to train with a French-Lebanese coach and physical trainer, Zaher Hamdan, who had lived in Seychelles since 2007.

In March 2017 she was banned by the SWA for “misbehavior” and was not allowed compete in weightlifting locally or internationally. She hired a lawyer and had the decision revoked.

She then participated in the African Championships and the Commonwealth Championships where she won the Gold medal.

Agricole participated to the 2018 Commonwealth Games which was held in Gold Cost, Australia. Six weeks before the competition she had an injection of cortisone in her right shoulder. In the competition she suffered a dislocated shoulder in her third attempt in snatch after doing 85 kg (187 lb) with her second snatch and then failed on all of her attempts in clean and jerk.
