Livia De Clercq (born 3 June 1982) is a Belgian Paralympic athlete who competes in long jump and occasionally sprinting events at international level events. [1]
De Clercq had her left leg amputated above the knee after she was diagnosed with a tumour in left knee aged fourteen. She had her kneecap removed but her body rejected the prosthesis which led to amputation.[2][3]
