General Interest

BREAK
After he was not selected as a push athlete for the French two-man crew at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games, a frustrated Lefebvre stepped away from the sport, not even watching his pilot Romain Heinrich compete at the Games. “For me, these Olympics did not exist." He again trained in discus for six months before Heinrich was able to persuade him to return to bobsleigh. (objectifgard.com, 28 Jan 2022)

Milestones

One World Championships appearance in 2020 in the four-man, finishing 15th with pilot Romain Heinrich.

Two top-10 finishes at the European Championships, his best being seventh in four-man in 2021 (Winterberg).

Broke into the World Cup top-10 finishing eighth in the 2019 Innsbruck two-man with pilot Romain Heinrich.
