WORLD NUMBER 1 2019/2020, WORLD NUMBER 2 2022, 6 TIMES FRANCE CHAMPION, 2 TIMES VICE-WORLD CHAMPION, ÉLODIE'S PALMARES IS IMPRESSIVE, SHE TELLS US ABOUT HER LIFE, HER SPORT, HER LOVE FOR PONDS AND HER PASSION FOR CHLORINE.

I AM VICE OLYMPIC CHAMPION and today my ultimate dream is before me, to be Olympic champion at the Paris Olympics next August in Modern Pentathlon. A discipline that I chose quite late, I was 19 years old, I was a swimmer and I did not qualify in Beijing. And following a failure, I committed myself to this new discipline. And that's what defines me, I'm someone who doesn't give up, who gets back up after the ordeal. The modern pentathlon was a real challenge for me, I had never done shooting or fencing and horse riding was a bad memory. I had taken a fall and decided never to do it again. I said yes, I arrived at Insep in Paris and there, I worked a lot to learn, and three and a half years later, I qualified for the London Olympics in 2012.

I was so impressed that I went there as a spectator of my own participation. in Rio, I was ready, I had consolidated my confidence,
and since London, I am vice-champion. I learned by leaving my family very early to go for sports studies, it was difficult for them, for me, to build myself alone, to seek perfection, details...

...perfect, the right gesture. This is where I agree with Chlorine's values.
I know that every detail counts, like Chlorine, I am very demanding of myself. What matters is not beating others, but the fight I have with myself.

I discovered Hélène's work, her swimsuits, on Insta, and I said to myself wow, this really corresponds to what I'm looking for, the fluidity, the flow which requires enormous efforts which remain invisible, the elegant line
which spins, the sheath thanks to this material which gives you the feeling of being above the water; I'm lucky to have quite a collection. The white one with a zipper on the front, so practical, was the first one I wore and I remember the admiring looks when I arrived at the edge of the pool. White, when I'm tanned, is amazing...

...It offers me both optimal flotation, and also I feel pretty, it supports, gives me confidence. When I have a difficult workout, I wear a model with a racerback, because I know that with its cut I will never have pain in my trapezius. The one with an open back that allows me to feel the sensation of the water is very pleasant. Chlore swimsuits accompany me every day, a black model, with jeans, is great.

The bag that allows me to hold my entire house and the equipment for the other four disciplines is a perfect size. The bathrobe so as not to be cold at the edge of the pool in winter, to warm up quickly when getting out of the water, is essential to me. At the moment, I'm wearing a red jersey, it's the color of energy, of renewal, of the heart, of luck, it makes me vibrate, it's the one that will carry me until the final test , on August 13 in Versailles. »
