Yannick Bourseaux (born 18 February 1975) is a French competitor in Paralympic biathlon, cross-country skiing and paratriathlon. [1] [2]

Before the accident that paralysed his arm, he was an elite able-bodied triathlete on the French National triathlon team. [1] [3]

Bourseaux competed in biathlon and cross-country skiing in the Torino (2006) and Vancouver (2010) Winter Paralympics but did not win any medals. [1] [4]

He won the TRI 4 (arm impairment) paratriathlon title at the ITU Triathlon World Championships in 2011 and 2012 and came second to Paralympic swimmer Martin Schultz in 2013. [3]

After defending his TRI 4 title at the 2012 ITU Paratriathlon World Championships, Bourseaux was named International Paralympic Committee "Athlete of the Month". [5]
