Carla Stampfli (born 25 April 1984) is a Swiss former swimmer, who specialized in butterfly events and later became a professional triathlete.[1] She is a single-time Olympian (2004), a 27-time Swiss swimming champion, and a short-course national record holder in the 100 m butterfly (2007).[2][3]
Stampfli qualified for the women's 4×100 m medley relay, as a member of the Swiss team, at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.[4][5] Teaming with Dominique Diezi (backstroke), Carmela Schlegel (breaststroke), and Nicole Zahnd (freestyle), Stampfli swam the butterfly leg and recorded a split of 1:03.37. Stampfli and the entire Swiss team finished the race in seventh place and fifteenth overall with a final time of 4:15.54.[6][7]
Five years later, in 2009, Stampfli embarked on a new career as a professional triathlete. She eventually earned her first title from the first meet of the 2012 Ironman 70.3 series in Pucón, Chile (4:38:03).[8]
