Lila Meesseman-Bakir is a member of the French duo of the synchronised swimming team of France, which will represent France at the next Olympic Games in Peking.

Lucie, sailing ahead!
‘In her first year of a bachelor’s degree in life sciences at UPMC, Lucie looks back at the choices she made : “UPMC quickly became the obvious choice because I wanted to start studying sciences at a higher education level and continue to train, which wasn’t offered to me by other universities. What’s good is that whatever problem I have, whether administrative, related to teaching or something else, there’s always someone to help me.
Sailing is a part of my family’s history ! I sail with my sister, who is still in secondary school and wants to start studying medicine. In a year and a half, she will stop competing, which puts our team into question. Also, there are a lot of changes going on in sailing. Certain Olympic support structures or cadets/juniors are going to be replaced. So it’s quite difficult for me to see a future for myself in sport. Nevertheless, I would like to participate in the World Championships, in 420, and have a place on the podium at the next French Championships.
One thing that is certain is that I want to become an agricultural engineer !’
