Charlotte Lembach (born 1 April 1988) is a French right-handed sabre fencer, 2018 team world champion, two-time Olympian, and 2021 team Olympic silver medalist.[1]

Lembach competed in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games and the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

Career

[edit]

Lembach was first called into the French national team for the 2009 European Championships in Plovdiv, but a hamstring injury prevented her from attending the competition.[2] She was selected again for the 2012 European Championships in Kyiv, but did not earn a qualification for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

After the Games, three members of the French team retired, leaving Lembach as team elder: at the age of 24 she acquired the nickname “Mamie” (“Granny”). The 2012–13 season saw her breakthrough: at Tianjin she climbed on the podium of a World Cup event, which no other French sportswomen had accomplished in two years and a half.[3] She however failed to earn a medal in the 2013 European Championships and the 2013 World Championships.

In the 2013–14 season Jean-Philippe Daurelle replaced Cyril Tahon as coach of the French women's sabre team, which Lembach described as “a breath of fresh air”.[4] Under his coaching Lembach won a silver medal in the Dakar World Cup and climbed to the podium in Chicago and Beijing.[4] In the European Championships held in her native Strasbourg, Lembach defeated teammate Cécilia Berder, but failed in the second round against No.1 seed Vassiliki Vougiouka and finished 13th.[4] In the team event, France defeated Germany, but were overcome in the semi-finals by reigning champions Russia. They prevailed over Poland to come away with a bronze medal. In the World Championships at Kazan, she fell in the second round again, this time at the hands of Małgorzata Kozaczuk of Poland.[5] In the team event France defeated Hungary, then created an upset by beating Russia in the quarter-finals and Italy in the semi-finals. Their winning streak was snapped in the final by the United States led by twice-Olympic champion Mariel Zagunis and France came away with a silver medal.[6]

Lembach is a student at EDHEC Business School.
