Manage episode 434308718 series 2505647
Hélène de Pourtalès was a woman of many firsts who made history as the first female Olympic champion. An American who was born into European aristocracy, Hélène’s life was one of privilege, yet she defied expectations by stepping into the world of competitive sailing—a male-dominated arena in the late 19th century. We'll explore her remarkable journey from the grandeur of Swiss society to the waters of the 1900 Paris Olympics, where she clinched gold, and examine how her legacy continues to inspire female athletes today.
