Before the accident that paralysed his arm, he was an elite able-bodied triathlete on the French National triathlon team.[1][3]
Bourseaux competed in biathlon and cross-country skiing in the Torino (2006) and Vancouver (2010) Winter Paralympics but did not win any medals.[1][4]
He won the TRI 4 (arm impairment) paratriathlon title at the ITU Triathlon World Championships in 2011 and 2012 and came second to Paralympic swimmer Martin Schultz in 2013.[3]
After defending his TRI 4 title at the 2012 ITU Paratriathlon World Championships, Bourseaux was named International Paralympic Committee "Athlete of the Month".[5]
