Pierre Brésolles
Pierre Brésolles, born Claire Brésolles on 10 November 1929, was a French runner who ran the 100 metre and 200 metre races. In the 50's Claire came out as a trans man and chose the name Pierre.[1]
He won 3rd in the 100 meter dash in the Oslo European Championship in 1946.
His teammate Léon (née Léa) Caurla, with whom he broke the 4x100 meter relay record in 1946, also came out as a trans man around this time, and the two became romantic partners.
