Abstract
Former Redbird diver Caroline Lecoeur '21 joins Redbird Buzz to recount her experience as the deputy manager for diving at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. In this episode, Lecoeur, a native of Lyon, France, discusses her journey—from France, to Illinois State University, to the Olympics.
As a Redbird, Lecoeur was named the Missouri Valley Conference's Diver of the Year in 2021 and 2019. Her knowledge of and passion for the sport led her to pursue a master's degree in sport management after graduating from Illinois State and, ultimately, resulted in her role with the Paris Olympics where she oversaw the operations of all diving events and managed a team of four full-time staff and more than 90 volunteers.
Tune into this episode to hear more about Lecoeur's experience at the Olympics, how Illinois State provided her with the support system she needed as an international student-athlete, and what's next following the Olympic Games.
