Thibaut Fauconnet (born April 23, 1985 in Dijon ) is a French short tracker .

At the age of 17, Fauconnet started the relay for the first time in the Short Track World Cup , which took place in Italy in December 2002. There he was eliminated in the preliminary stages, even at the 2003 Junior World Championships in Budapest , he failed in every race at the latest in the quarterfinals. In the same year he took part in the European Championship , also exclusively with the relay . This time he even won the bronze medal behind the Italian and British teams. He only finished his first individual World Cup race over 500 meters in the quarter-finals, where he just missed the next round in third. At other World Cup stations in the 2003/04 season, Fauconnet again achieved good results, including a semi-finals over 1500 meters at the end of the season. But he achieved the greatest success of the winter at the 2004 Junior World Championships in Beijing , where he won the bronze medal with the relay.

The Frenchman missed the first three World Cups of the 2004/05 season, then achieved good results again in the three remaining, although he missed the finals again. At the European Championships in 2005 , the French relay did not defend their medal, and Fauconnet also did not participate in the finals in the individual races. Since he started in each of the twelve possible individual races of the 2005/06 World Cup, he reached tenth place in the overall World Cup and eleventh in the 1500 meter discipline World Cup, although he also missed all the finals that winter. As a bronze medalist on the 1000-meter course at the 2006 European Championship , he still achieved his greatest individual success up to then in that season, and he also won the silver medal in the relay. As one of the eight most successful athletes in the European Championship, he also qualified for the 3,000-meter superfinal, where he was disqualified, however, and so fell back to eighth place in the all-round ranking.

In the 2006/07 season, Fauconnet only competed in a few World Cups, but still achieved a few top 10 placements. With the relay he even managed to take third place at the World Cup in Heerenveen , in which, however, many top runners did not take part. With the course victory over 500 meters at the European Championships in 2007 , he qualified for the superfinal for the second time in a row, which he, like the all-round competition (overall competition), finished in fourth place. He was just five points short of Yuri Confortola's bronze medal . He was also fourth with the season. At the world championships he placed 28th among 56 participants. In the 2007/08 World Cup , the Frenchman only achieved his only top 10 result at the end of the season with a seventh place over 500 meters. At the European Championships in 2008 in Ventspils , Latvia , he did not defend his good results from the previous year and ended up only 13th without making it to the finals. However, with the season he won another medal, this time the bronze one. The 15th place at the world championship in Gangneung almost reached the result of the European championship, the relay did not start here.

In the Short Track World Cup 2008/09 , Fauconnet achieved further top 10 results at the first World Cup stations on the 1500 meter distance. He reached his first individual podium at the fourth World Cup in Nagano , where he finished third behind the South Korean Sung Si-bak and the Chinese Han Jialiang . In December 2010, his doping test at the World Cup in Shanghai was positive for the stimulant tuaminoheptane and he was banned for 18 months.
