Marc-André Voeckler

Marc-André Voeckler (born 23rd April, 1998 in 16ème Arrondissement, Paris, France) is a French Olympic shooter and occasional racing driver. He is one of four children of Frédéric-Maxime Voeckler and twin brother to Adélaïde Voeckler.

Growing up in the famous Voeckler racing family, Marc-André - much like his brothers and sisters - was sent to a boarding school in Versailles to carry out their studies in a low pressure environment. As a teen, Voeckler picked up an affinity with sport shooting and quickly became one of the highest ranked shooters in France by the age of fourteen. At sixteen, Voeckler represented France at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics in Nanjing, China and scored Bronze in the 10m Air Rifle. Voeckler went on to further represent France at the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro and managed an impressive fifth. At the 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo, Voeckler took an astonishing silver medal behind China's Pang Wei - France's first medal in the category since Franck Dumoulin's gold at Sydney 2000. Following the event, Voeckler disclosed to French media that he was preparing to attempt the Biathlon at the 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing.

As is expected of all Voeckler children, Marc-André passed his racing qualifications at eighteen and then took part in the 2016 Lupo GTI Spa Superprix with five other members of his family in the race. Although focused on his shooting, Voeckler has been a regular competitor in the Trophée Andros since his racing debut. In 2020-21 winter season, Voeckler beat the likes of Jean-Maxime Bachot, Romain Grosjean and his father Frédéric-Maxime Voeckler to win his first Trophée Andros driving in a Renault ZOE.
