Our champions

Léo was in the same group in the Club des Sports as the Chevrier sisters and he shares their passion for skiing and for their resort, of course, as well as a close friendship forged during the training sessions and competitions they have participated in since they were very young. Multi-talented from the start, Léo does have a preference as well as the “ad hoc” build for giant slalom and downhill. After a faultless track record with the Comité de Savoie then with the French team since 2020 as part of the Relève group, Léo joined the Federation in 2021 then the Europa Cup downhill group (group B) for the 2022-23 season.

2 for the price of one! Axelle, Marion’s twin sister, has already done La Plagne proud on several occasions. Top-level skiing really is a family affair for the Chevriers. After a successful winter season in 2019 when Axelle competed in the World Cup for the first time aged just 17, she is now continuing to progress on the European and world circuits.

Alexis is from Macôt, one of the biggest villages at the bottom of La Plagne and he started with La Plagne’s Club des Sports when he was 10. It was a fantastic opportunity for the skier who really loves his home resort, particularly the variety of terrain with the high-altitude area, the forests and mountain pastures. One of his favourite childhood memories is skiing from Mont-Saint-Jacques (2,407 m) down to Macôt in the valley with the Club des Sports.

One of four siblings, Ollie started skiing in Montchavin–Les Coches when he was just 2 years old. The family was based in London and used to come on holiday to La Plagne twice a year. After falling in love with Montchavin, Ollie’s parents decided to move there for good when Ollie was 8 and then there was no looking back: he, his brother and two sisters were set to stay in the Tarentaise. An avid skier, Ollie joined the Montchavin–Les Coches Club des Sports. Over time, it became clear that he would specialize in ski cross and, when he started competing at FIS level, the La Plagne athlete joined the British ski team. In February 2022, he competed in the Olympic Games in Beijing under the joint colours of the Union Jack and La Plagne’s red woolly hat.

Fantine was born in Voiron (Isère) and discovered the pleasure of skiing in the Chartreuse with her parents when she was very young. The year she turned 13, her family moved to the Tarentaise, to Aime specifically, and Fantine joined the La Plagne Club des Sports. After a year in freestyle, Fantine turned to moguls which became her preferred discipline. Fantine rapidly progressed on the European circuit, coming top of the overall ranking two years in a row. In 2020, the young athlete joined the French team and took part in her first World Cup events, achieving a promising 17th place at the World Cup finals in 2022.

If the élite of women’s freestyle skiing are mostly over 20, the younger skiers with a thirst for victory are training hard to change that. This is certainly the case for Tess Ledeux who was French slopestyle champion when she was just 15. Noted for her ease and determination that equalled and even surpassed that of her male counterparts, Tess was rapidly ready for the big league. With her cousin, Kévin Rolland, she shares the desire to win which often makes her fly over the competition and her competitors, both literally and figuratively.

Constantly in search of new places to play, Antoine soon dropped the more traditional disciplines to devote himself to freestyle skiing and develop his own style in the snow parks. In 2014, when he was only 16, he qualified for the Sochi Winter Olympics, the first Games to include slopestyle. Despite some forced breaks due to injuries, Antoine approaches each competition more determined than ever and shines with his regular results.

Moguls

Martin was immersed in the mountains from a very early age, making his first tracks on the slopes of La Plagne with the Club des Sports. It was his parents, experienced ski instructors, who passed on their passion for winter sports to him.

His early days on the slopes were devoted to honing his downhill skiing technique.

However, it was in mogul skiing that Martin found his real passion, a demanding and versatile discipline which, he says, is “the perfect fusion of the technical rigour of downhill skiing and acrobatic agility”.

The Club des Sports de La Plagne played a decisive role in his development by nurturing his competitive spirit. Despite the obstacles, including injuries that have tested his progress and his determination, Martin has persevered and is now competing in the Moguls World Cup.

Freestyle skiing

Kim grew up in the mountains and learned to ski at Oxygène ski school, where her parents were instructors.

She discovered her passion for snowboarding by looking at a brochure when she was still at primary school and it was with Tim and the competitors in the Club that she realised that she wanted to do jumps and take risks. She started to compete in moguls and slopestyle when she was around 10 or 11, but it was slopestyle and big air that really captivated her.

La Plagne is much more than just a tourist destination for her: it is her home, the place she grew up in from when she was 2 months old, dividing her time between summers in Montpellier and winters in the snow.

Her goals are to represent France at the Olympic Games, be on the World Cup podium and win the X Games.

Her recent exploits are already impressive: coming 15^th in Silvaplana and Tignes in the World Cup this winter, despite a cruciate ligament injury before the two final competitions, a season where she shone, showing her mental strength and her ability to overcome obstacles.

She does not look for ready-made quotations on internet, preferring one that comes from her own experience: "falling down to come back stronger", a mantra that perfectly reflects her determination to bounce back despite the obstacles, particularly the challenges related to her knee injury.
