Pascale Trinquet (born 11 August 1958 in Marseille) is a French fencer and Olympic champion in foil competition.
She won a gold medal in the foil event at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow.[1][2] She also won a gold medal in team foil with the French team.[3]
In an earlier event in the United States, Trinquet competed in a 1979 international invitation tournament at the New York Athletic Club, winning the women's foil with only eight touches against her while scoring 25 against her opponents.[4]
Her elder sister Véronique Trinquet is also a former fencer and Olympic medalist. Pascale and Véronique are the daughters of a Saint-Tropez retail pharmacist, and after their sporting career was over, they owned a pharmacy in Paris 16th arrondissement.[5]
