Florencia Hunt

Florencia Hunt (born 14 May 1978) is a Dutch Antillean middle-distance runner. She competed in the women's 800 metres at the 2000 Summer Olympics.^[1] While planning to compete in the 2008 Summer Olympics, she was diagnosed with a cancer in her pelvic area that was compressing her sciatic nerve. She underwent surgery for her condition, which ultimately led to the loss of the use of her right leg.^[2] She later became a bodybuilder, regaining feeling in her leg after six years of chemotherapy.^[3]

As a bodybuilder, she competed in her first contest in 2016. She won her first contest that year, the National Physique Committee figure competition at the New England 35+ division. Hunt has since won competitions in Sint Maarten and Richmond, Virginia.^[2]
