Fabienne Aline St Louis (born 22 March 1988) is a Mauritian professional triathlete, the African U23 vice champion of the years 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010, Elite vice champion of the year 2010, and U23 African Champion of the year 2011.
St Louis qualified for the London Olympics 2012. She competed at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. Despite being diagnosed with cancer in 2015, she qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics.
Fabienne Saint-Louis attended the French school Lycée La Bourdonnais in her hometown Curepipe. From 2007/08 to 2009/10, like the French triathletes Laurent Vidal and David Hauss, she took part in an education programme arranged by the foundation Jean-Luc Lagardère and the lifelong learning institution Sciences Po in Paris to meet the needs of high performance sports people. Since 2010/11 Fabienne Saint-Louis has studied sports (STAPS).
Within France, for several years St Louis was primarily known as the best elite triathlete of Lagardère Paris Racing, the club she represented in the D2 Club Championship Series (Championnat de France des clubs D2): e.g. in St. Cyr (9 May 2009), Saint Jean de Monts (27 June 2009), and at the D2 finale in Betton (12 September 2009) she won the gold medals.
In 2009 St Louis also took part in two of the everyman’s Olympic Distance competitions organized as part of the prestigious French Club Championship Series Lyonnaise des Eaux winning the gold medal in Paris and placing fourth at the Grand Final in La Baule,
Apart from minor competitions like the Triathlon de Pont-Audemer (17 May 2009), the Triathlon International de Mimizan (30/31 May 2009), and the Triathlon International de Larmor-Plage (23 August 2009), which St Louis could easily win, she also won the bronze medal at the French U23 Championships in Belfort on 6/7 June 2009, which, however, caused controversy in the French media because it was not clear whether, as a Mauritian citizen, she could be awarded the bronze medal at the French National Championships.
In 2011, for the first time Saint Louis takes part in the prestigious French Club Championship Series Lyonnaise des Eaux and together with the elite stars Emmie Charayron and Rebecca Robisch she won the first triathlon of this French circuit in Nice on 24 April 2011, placing 16th in the individual ranking.
