During the 1920s French sportswoman Suzanne Kiffer-Porte competed in both track and field athletics and swimming. On the track Kiffer-Porte was a fine middle-distance runner and won bronze in the 800 metres at the 1921 Women’s Olympiad before winning the event the following year. At the 1922 Women’s Olympiad she also swam in the 100 metres backstroke, 100 metres freestyle, and the 200 metres breaststroke, qualifying for the final in the latter. At the French national swimming championships she won silver in the 200 metres breaststroke in both 1922 and 1923. In early 1924 she had broken the French record in the 100 metres breaststroke, earning herself a place on the French Olympic swimming team. At the 1924 Paris Games Kiffer-Porte swam in the 200 metres breaststroke but did not advance from the heats. She was married to the French artist and printer Charles Kiffer-Porte, whose work was exhibited as part of the art competition at the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics.
