Charayron is a member of the French military triathlon team (Equipe de France militaire de triathlon) , which was transferred to the Ecoles militaires de Draguignan (EMD) with the Montpellier infantry school in the summer of 2010 , and is a soldier 1re classe.

Emmie Charayron, who was trained by her father Philippe Charayron , took part in a junior triathlon (Veaux-en-Velin) for the first time in 1997 and has since won the French national championships more than ten times in her respective age group. In 2005, for example, she became French youth duathlon champion (category: minimies ).

In 2006 she finished fourth in the U23 European Duathlon Championships in Italy.

Junior European Champion Triathlon 2008

She has been taking part in ITU competitions regularly since 2006, and has been winning gold regularly since 2007 - since 2008, when she was only 18, also in the elite class.

In 2009 she not only became European and World Champion in her age group (junior), but also won a silver medal at the European Cup in Quarteira and a bronze medal at the European Cup in Athlone in the elite class at the age of 19. In 2010 she won the silver medal in the elite class at the world championship series triathlon in Madrid, making her one of the top triathletes in the elite class. In the French media, Charayron, the 2009 junior and world champion, and Charlotte Morel , the U23 national champion in 2009, 2010 and 2011, are considered to be the greatest female young talents who are also celebrating considerable success internationally. The magazine Triathlète, for example, compared the two triathletes in a section called Confrontation (No. 271, November 2009).

In France, Charayron competed for the Brive Limousin Triathlon club up to and including 2009 , which won eighth place in the French club championship series Lyonnaise des Eaux in 2009 without relying on foreign legionnaires like the leading French triathlon clubs. In the four of a total of five competitions in which Charayron was used, she took three podium places in the U23 classification: Dunkirk: 1st (6th overall), Beauvais: 2nd (5th overall), Paris-Longchamp: 4th (total: 7th) and La Baule: 3rd (total: 13th). In those competitions in which she competed with Charlotte Morel from championship winner Beauvais , Charayron was always ahead of her biggest French competitor, who was exactly one year older than her.
