Yvonne Curtet

Yvonne Alice Curtet (née Chabot; born 28 May 1920) is a French former athlete, who specialized in the long jump.

Curtet took eighth place in the long jump during the 1948 London Olympics with a leap of 5.35 m. In qualifying for the final, she established the first Olympic record for women with a jump of 5.64 m.[1] She also competed at the 1950 European Athletics Championships and placed fourth at that competition.

She improved three times the French record in the long jump, bringing it to 5.64 m and 5.67 m in 1948, then 5.71 m in 1949.

[4] Since the death of Félix Sienra, a Uruguayan Olympic sailor in the 1948 games, on 30 January 2023, Curtet has been the oldest living Olympian.
