BEST RESULTS: 6th in the slalom of Aspen NICKNAME: “Boubou” because I want to as fast as a cannonball and I do sometimes things which make me appear like a real blondie!!

ABOUT ME: I’ve grown in Toulouse and used to ski in the Pyrenees for the week end. I left my hometown in 2003 to go in the Alps in order to keep improving my ski. More than skiing, I keep studying languages and economics at University. I love sport and shopping and I’m always enjoying tennis, golf, or even cinema if my friends are around.

For my carreer, I ‘ve already taken part in two Olympics, and I’ve already experienced serious injury due to a big crash in downhill in 2007 where I tore my knee. I spent 8 months in a center of rehab in the south of France. Two years after, I’ve just begun to come back in the top 30 and I have to thanks my teamates who are also my best friends for encouraging me not to get discouraged… Now, let’s get the party started!

AGE YOU LEARNED TO SHRED: 2 years old thanks to ice skating.

CRAZIEST DREAM: To win a World Cup ex aequo with all the members of the “Team Boulet”!!!

SOMETHING YOU THINK EVERYONE SHOULD TRY: Everyone should try to ski once in their lifetime to feel the sensations of speed.

WHAT EXCITES YOU?: A big fiesta after a good result or after passing my exams!

GOT ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY? I may go to hell but at least all my friends will be there!!
