Léon Caurla

Léon Caurla, born Léa Caurla, (4 September 1926 – 2 March 2002)[1] was a French athlete in the 100m and 200m events.

He eventually chose to be called Léon, got married and became a father.

Léon's main opponent, Pierre Brésolles, with whom he won several tournaments, proved also to be a trans man.

Together, they ran a French 4 × 100 m relay record (with Anne-Marie Colchen and Monique Drilhon).
