About Nancy Kemp-Arendt

  • Nancy Kemp-Arendt (born 22 May 1969, in Esch-sur-Alzette), née Nancy Arendt, is a politician and former athlete from Luxembourg.
  • She competed in triathlon and swimming.
  • She now sits in the national legislature, the Chamber of Deputies, for the Christian Social People's Party. Kemp-Arendt competed under her maiden name, Nancy Arendt, at the 1988 Summer Olympics, in Seoul.
  • Participating in the 100m breaststroke and 200m breaststroke, she finished twenty-ninth and thirty-first respectively.
  • After converting to triathlon, Kemp-Arendt competed in that sport's first appearance in the Summer Olympics, in 2000.
  • She took tenth place with a total time of 2:03:14.94.
  • She has won the title of Luxembourgian Sportswoman of the Year a total of six times – two for swimming and four for triathlon – making her the only athlete (male or female) to have won it for success in two different sports. After her early sporting success, Arendt went into politics, becoming a member for the Christian Social People's Party (CSV) in 1993.
  • She was appointed to the Chamber of Deputies to fill a vacancy on 23 January 1996, and finished out the term until the legislative election in 1999.
  • In that election, she finished eleventh on the CSV list for the Sud constituency, with seven being elected.
  • However, this was high enough to ensure her replacement of Ady Jung on 3 June 2003, in whose place she served until the following year.
  • She placed eleventh again in the following election, but on a landslide CSV victory that saw nine CSV members elected from Sud, allowing her to be appointed to fill one of three minister-vacated seats, and has sat in the Chamber since then.
