Jean-Herve Stievenart [national, personal]

In August 2018 he underwent surgery on his left ankle. He was then affected by complications after the surgical incision. (lalsace.fr, 14 Feb 2019)

He injured his Achilles tendon while competing at the 2017 World Championships in London, England. He had also struggled with an Achilles tendon injury during a training camp earlier in the year in Barcelona, Spain. (leparisien.fr, 30 Jul 2019; lalsace.fr, 10 May 2017)

He underwent ankle surgery in March 2017. (leparisien.fr, 30 Jul 2019; Le Republicain Lorrain, 29 May 2017)

He sustained a hamstring injury to his left leg in February 2015. The injury prevented him from competing at the 2015 European Indoor Championships in Prague, Czech Republic. (leparisien.fr, 30 Jul 2019; lequipe.fr, 06 Feb 2015)

In late 2013 he underwent surgery on his left ankle due to repetitive injuries and ankle impingement syndrome. (trackandlife.fr, 24 Feb 2016)

At age six he started taking part in athletic sports such as running, jumping, and throwing. He also followed his older brother into judo for four years. (iaaf.org, 07 Jan 2007)

His preference for jumping came at age 15 through good results. "In these age categories, it's easier to perform better in the long jump, so I naturally focused on the event where I had better results." His rapid improvements in the triple jump saw him switch focus progressively. "I learned to appreciate the triple jump, especially the second phase, the 'step', where I sometimes manage to feel like an airplane." (iaaf.org, 07 Jan 2007)

He trains at the National Institute for Sport, Expertise and Performance [INSEP] in Paris, France. (leparisien.fr, 27 Nov 2020)
