Fencer Astrid Guyart and archer Romain Girouille are the new co-Presidents of the Athletes Commission of the French National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSF).
Their term will last until 2025.
The pair were installed as replacements for taekwondo player Gwladys Epangue and swimmer Fabien Gilot at a plenary meeting of the High Performance Athletes Commission (CAHN) on April 8.
That followed the election of 38 CAHN members for the new Olympiad.
Guyart, a 38-year-old aerospace engineer, competed in the women’s foil event at the London 2012 Olympics, also contesting the team bronze-medal match that France lost to South Korea.
Since then she has won one silver and five bronze medals in the team event at the World Championships, as well as two silvers and two bronzes in the European team competition, and appeared at Rio 2016.
