Nancy Kemp-Arendt (born 22 May 1969, in

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 Luxembourgish 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

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.[1] 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.[1]
