Marion Clignet (born 21 February 1964) is a French former track cyclist. Born in Chicago, United States, Clignet was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 22 and was shunned by the United States Cycling Federation.[1] She subsequently raced for France from 1991 onwards. She rode at three Olympic Games for France, winning two silver medals in the individual pursuit.[2] Clignet won six world championships in the late 1990s – 3 times in the individual pursuit and 2 times in the points race on the track, and the team time trial on the road.
