Fabienne Schlumpf

Fabienne Schlumpf (born 17 November 1990) is a Swiss athlete specialising in the 3000 metres steeplechase, and later, marathon running. She won the silver medal at the 2018 European Championships. In 2020, she competed in the women's half marathon at the 2020 World Athletics Half Marathon Championships held in Gdynia, Poland. Her personal best of 9:37.81 is the former national record, since beaten by Chiara Scherrer in 2022. She used the competition-free time during the COVID-19 pandemic to re-orient towards marathon running. In her first marathon race ever (Belp, April 3, 2021) she not only fulfilled the time cutoff to participate at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, but with 2:26:14 hours she improved the Swiss record for female marathon runners. Schlumpf ran her second marathon race at the Olympic Games in Tokyo and was placed 12th with 2:31:36 hours.
