Morgane Metraux is in Paris, France, representing Team Switzerland at the ongoing 2024 Olympics. This is her debut appearance at the Games.
While Morgane Metraux has performed decently until now, her performance should not come as a surprise to those who know her. Before the 2024 Olympics, in an interview on the "Ladies European Tour Channel", Metraux talked about her love for the Olympics as it exposed her to a variety of sports. She said:
"I really enjoyed the Olympics for that, because it just completely opened the sports horizon for me, whether it was the opening ceremony, the closing ceremony, or all the sports I just really enjoyed watching it. And I was sneaking up trying to watch as much as I could when my parents wouldn't really want me to watch too much TV." [1:15 onwards]
Morgane Metraux further credited her family for inspiring her journey to the Olympics. She added:
"First of all obviously my parents. They're the ones who especially my dad who had played before and the ones who got me into the sport. My sister would be next. We've played our whole Junior and amatuer career together. Then my boyfriend who I met in college." [0:13 onwards]
Morgane Metraux is not the only person from her family to play at the Olympics. Before Morgane, her older sister Kim Metraux also represented Switzerland in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. She finished in 54th place with a score of 7-over
