Pierre-Jean Peltier (born May 20, 1984 in Pont-à-Mousson , France ) is a former French rower .

Career

Peltier started rowing in 2002 and already started two years later in the U23 junior world championships for his home country France in eighth place . As with two other participations in this competition in 2005 and 2006, he could not record a medal win.

From the 2006 season, Peltier was initially built in a single for the national team of the open age group. At its World Cup premiere this season, he finished 17th, at the World Championships in Eton, UK, 21st. In the following year, Peltier was also on the road, but he only achieved 23rd place at the 2007 World Championships . In the 2008 Olympic season he finally managed to jump into the double foursome , which had already qualified for the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing by winning the silver medal at the World Cup last year . With Jonathan Coeffic , Pierre-Jean Peltier, Julien Bahain and batsman Cédric Berrest , the French team won the Olympic bronze medal in the Olympic rowing and canoeing park Shunyi . A few weeks later, Peltier also competed with the French eighth at the European Championships in Athens and won the European Championship.

In the new Olympic cycle, Peltier was able to hold onto the French national rowing team. At the 2009 World Championships in Poznan, Poland, he rowed to fifth place in a double scull. Then, as in the previous year, he started eighth at the European Championships and won a bronze medal here. The next season was not successful, in the double foursome it was only enough for 9th place at the European Championships in Portugal and at the World Championships Peltier had to start again in the single. As at his World Cup premiere in 2006, he finished 21st. Back in the double foursome in the 2011 season he was just as unsuccessful: at the World Championships of the pre-Olympic season in Bled, Slovenia, Peltier missed qualifying for the London Games in 13th place with the large French skull boat. It was not until the final qualifying regatta in Lucerne in May 2012 that he bought the ticket to the 2012 Summer Olympics with the double quad with a second place with only two quota places left. The Olympic rowing regatta concluded the French selection with Benjamin Chabanet , Matthieu Androdias , Pierre-Jean Peltier and batsman Adrien Hardy in 10th place overall. With Julien Bahain, Matthieu Androdias and Cédric Berrest, Peltier rowed again shortly afterwards at the European Championships in the B final and then ended his career as an international rowing athlete.

Peltier started for the Société Nautique de Pont-à-Mousson association in his hometown. With a height of 1.91 m, his competition weight was around 93 kg. His father Jean-Raymond Peltier took part in the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow as a rower of the French double foursome .
