Hello, I'mDelphine Le Sausse

Paraplegic, following an alpine skiing accident in January 2004.

After an operation and six months in a rehabilitation center, I finally got my life back.

A life that has become harder, but full of great adventures.

I resumed alpine skiing the season following my accident, then water skiing the summer that followed.

Practices that I knew well, full of sensations, which had become totally different.

After 3 years in the French Paralympic alpine ski team, and because of my very demanding professional activity, I decided to devote myself solely to competitive water skiing.

During my 1st international water skiing competition, in Australia, I won my first 2 World Champion titles (slalom and figures).

It was in 2007.

In the meantime, as they say, it’s a long story….

15 titles of World Champion and 15 titles of European Champion!

After a break in 2015, to give birth to my daughter, I resumed competition in 2016 to keep my European titles.

And the following year in Australia I won 4 new world titles, and 2 more in 2019 in Norway.

The “resilience” allowed me to go through this ordeal and to make it a force to reach the highest level in disabled sport.

I also like to share my experience of long-term performance which depends on the willingness to learn from both successes and failures.

I can convey to you these two important concepts which are essential in professional and private life.
