Sporting relatives:

Her mother Annick was a national distance running champion in the 1990s. Her father Pascal also competed in athletics and set a national record in the 5000m. Her partner Valentin Belaud is also a modern pentathlete who has claimed gold at the world championships.

She suffered a broken foot in a motorbike accident in 2011. (Athlete, 23 Jul 2016)

She took up modern pentathlon in 2009. (Athlete, 23 Jul 2016)

"I was recruited because I was good at running and swimming. I immediately liked the diversity of events, and because it's a warrior's sport. As soon as I started, I loved it." (Athlete, 23 Jul 2016; olympics.com, 04 Aug 2020)

She does training for each sport every day of training and combines this with other fitness exercise like cycling. (olympics.com, 04 Aug 2020)

General
PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAINING
She used to consult psychologist Jean Paul Pes, who helped her parents during their running careers. She has also worked with psychologist Meriem Salmi. "I work with [psychologists] because at the Olympic Games the mental factor counts for 80% of the competition. You need to know how to handle your emotions in the shooting section, where only two fingers can make the difference. You learn how not to crack under the pressure and be more relaxed. It's a question of feeling and with Meriem the tide went straight away. It's a matter of trust, and as far as I'm concerned, I admit it's the best."

DANCE TRAINING
She and her partner, fellow modern pentathlete Valentin Belaud, complement their training with dance coach Armelle Van Eecloo. "Thanks to our dance coach, we save energy on every single move and gesture. Every athlete trains hard and improves a lot, but we can go further in our training by eliminating the parasitical elements," Belaud said. (tokyo2020.org, 14 Feb 2021; olympics.com, 04 Aug 2020)
