Nafissatou Thiam is a Belgian athlete, who broke the indoor junior world record on the women's pentathlon on 3 February 2013. This record could not be ratified, because the compulsory anti-doping control could not be organized in time. Thiam, daughter of a Belgian mother and a Senegalese father, is a member of RFCL, an athletics club from Li�ge, and is coached by Roger Lespagnard. She studies geography at the University of Li�ge. Nafissatou Thiam started with athletics when she was seven years old. She won her first national age group titles in 2009, when she was already participating in the heptathlon. Her favourite athlete when she was 15 was Carolina Kl�ft. At the 2011 World Youth Championships in Athletics in Lille, France, she finished fourth in the heptathlon with a total of 5366 points. As a first-year junior, she finished 14th at the 2012 World Junior Championships in Athletics in the heptathlon. On 3 February 2013, Thiam broke the junior indoor world record on the pentathlon at a meeting in Ghent.
