If the Olympics is a philosophy that raises respect, excellence, the desire to surpass oneself, then the 26-year-old Olympic vice-champion in rowing is the perfect embodiment.
The Olympic runner-up in rowing at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics has just qualified for the Paris Games with her partner Laura Tarantola. “For me, rowing is much more than a sport. It is an art of living, an aesthetic and an ethic that requires endurance, humility, courage, a sense of effort, solidarity and friendship. You can’t win a race alone.”
Next to him, his teammate from 2017 Laura Tarantola. “We are in complete harmony. We share the same passion, we fight for the same values.” The two young women start the day with two hours of paddling on the water, followed by forty-five minutes of muscle strengthening and an hour of weight training. To this, let’s add the drastic dietary discipline that jockeys deserve. “We must weigh 57kg including the wetsuit.”

Jeweler Maubussin’s muse
Claire started competing in 2012 in a family of rowers. Mother world vice-champion, father coach, brother medalist. “I quickly fell in love with this sport of water skiing, practiced in peace, away from the fury and chaos of the world.” Along with her Olympic dreams, Claire continued her physiotherapy studies at the Claude-Bernard University of Lyon, being the muse of jeweler Maubusin for three years. Delighted by the journey of the champion, the CEO of the brand, Alain Nemark, created a piece of jewelry in honor of the athlete. “I am touched by this gesture and proud to be their muse. For three years Maubusen helped me continue my studies and train for the Olympics. Valuable support and solar home.’ Claire doesn’t stop herself from dreaming. “Gold for my country”.
