Carmen Pomiès

[2] Pomiès won the bronze medal in the two-handed javelin throw event at the 1921 Women's Olympiad in Monte Carlo, behind her compatriot Violette Morris who took gold.

The French team travelled to England to face Dick, Kerr Ladies across a five-match series, where it won one match, drew another, and lost two.

[4] Pomiès moved from centre-back to goalkeeper on the tour, and her 11-save performance on 8 October 1922 in a 4–4 draw against a men's team in Washington, D.C. was noted in reports of the match.

She captained Fémina against an Irish team featuring Molly Seaton on 4 August 1932, scoring the opening goal in a 4–3 win despite being injured in the first half.

In the former role, she reportedly hid airdrops of British propaganda in hospital beds, and in the latter acquired exit passes for the National Council of the Resistance.

[16] She then took an ocean liner to the United States and settled in Rochester, New York, in 1947, where she was a translator for Teale Machine Company, whose executives included friends from Pomiès's childhood.
