Interview'I wouldn't be where I am today if...' In this series, Le Monde interviews a public figure about a decisive moment in their life. The only Frenchwoman to be a three-time Olympic athletics champion pays tribute to her grandmother, who taught her to 'keep her head up.'
On June 7, in Brest, Britanny, Marie-José Pérec climbed aboard Armel Le Cléac'h's maxi-trimaran for the Olympic Ocean Relay.

While she had been in her new surroundings too briefly for the author to report on Perec’s progress on the track, he concentrated instead on her other activities since arriving two weeks ago to set up an apartment in Westwood--running errands and shopping. The fascination in France with her everyday life fascinates her.
“I am not Madonna,” she said.
She is, however, one of France’s most prominent sports personalities, the country’s only track and field gold medalist at the 1992 Summer Olympics.
Among the reasons she left France was to escape her fame, which, according to her agent, Tom Sturak of Topanga Canyon, made it difficult for her to stroll along a boulevard, visit a museum, rest at a sidewalk cafe or dine in a restaurant--the enticements of living in Paris--without being disturbed by well-meaning but intrusive fans. Sturak said she would not have that p
