Béatrice Mouthon (born June 14, 1966 in Annecy ) is a former French triathlete and national long-distance triathlon champion (1994) who took part in the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney .

Career

Béatrice Mouthon grew up with her twin sister Isabelle and four other siblings in the French Alps. A TV report on the Longue Distance de Nice triathlon , at that time the most prestigious triathlon in the world alongside the Ironman Hawaii , motivated her to start triathlon herself. Before that, she and her twin sister were already active in swimming and running . They completed their first triathlon in Annecy on bikes borrowed from their father and brother. While Béatrice was studying in Paris, Isabelle Mouthon enrolled at the University of Lyon so that both could only train together during the holidays.

After graduating in 1990, Béatrice and Isabelle decided to take a year off to focus on the sport and moved to San Diego . With her successes, Béatrice Mouthon was one of those athletes who was equally successful on the short and long distance.

In July 1995 she was fourth in Sweden at the ETU European championships on the short distance and in October eighth in the Ironman Hawaii (Ironman World Championships).

2000 Summer Olympics

Both Béatrice Mouthon and her sister Isabelle were nominated alongside Christine Hocq by the French National Olympic Committee (NOK) for the premiere of triathlon at the games, where she finished 35th.
