Jeanne Lehair

She changed her nationality in time to compete at the Paris Olympics and she became the European Champion in 2023 under her new flag.

Her stubborn determination and ambition resulted in her becoming a champion at aquathon and duathlon in 2012 and 2013 respectively.

[5] In March 2023 she was one of three athletes whose requested change of nationality was recognised by the International Olympic Committee.

The changes were made using a speedy route because there were no objections, and this meant that she would be eligible to compete at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

She won the event beating Sophie Coldwell from the UK and the American Taylor Spivey.
