Athletics (Heptathlon)

My name is Clémence Beretta, and I'm a professional athlete specialising in the 20 km race walk. I train once or twice a day, guided by a strong philosophy: focusing on the process rather than the outcome, while staying aligned in mind, heart, and body. Over the years and through 16 selections for the French national team, my approach has evolved significantly. I’ve developed a deep awareness of my body and sensations, prioritising my mental well-being and personal balance over an obsession with the stopwatch.

Triathlon

I used to be an elite triathlete. Raced many international races and loved to train very hard. In 2022 I got injured and we still can’t find the cure for my several bone fractures that appear every time i try to run. Even though I still can’t race, I keep trainning hard every day so that I can come back the day we find the origin of my health problem. I love my sport and I know I’ll make it somehow!
