Christine Gosse [national], FRA

She took up rowing in 2004 at age 13. (worldrowing.com, 01 Jul 2008; descartesinfo.parisdescartes.fr, 27 Oct 2015)

"Rowing wasn't my first choice. I did judo from age six to 20. I began to practise rowing at age 13 while I was in middle school after I joined my school's sports association out of curiosity. I would never have thought I would become a high-level athlete one day. At first it was about the joy of hanging out with my friends, the passion came later." (descartesinfo.parisdescartes.fr, 27 Oct 2015; ac-paris.fr, 26 May 2013)

To win a medal at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. (unss.org, 08 Feb 2019)

FURTHER EDUCATION
After completing a bachelor's degree in business management at Paris Dauphine University, she studied a master's degree in communication at the Paris Institute of Political Studies in France. She then studied another master's degree in sport, expertise and high-level performance at Paris Descartes University, and in 2019 she obtained a certificate of professional aptitude in French pastry. "It is necessary to find a balance between study and sport. In addition to my sports education, I wanted to acquire other skills, especially in management. A high-level athlete's career is very short and our salaries are very low. So we must think about a professional career for after our sports career."
