Contents

She qualified for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang and won the silver medal in the snowboard cross. [3] She competed at the 2022 Winter Olympics, in Women's snowboard cross. [4]

Career

She was 16 years old when she competed at Pyeongchang, making her the youngest French National to win a Winter Olympic medal. [5] [6] Julia finished her quarter-final in second place, behind Italian rider Michela Moioli in a premonition of the Big Final. Julia raced in the day's second semi-final and finished in third place behind her compatriot Chloé Trespeuch in second and Michela Moioli in first.

The track at Phoenix Park is 1300m long, and for almost a kilometre of the Big Final, Julia was in 4th position, but in the final few hundred meters, she found a racing line that saw her pass everyone but Moioli to finish second and win Olympic silver.

Alongside her life as a professional snowboard cross athlete, Julia is in full-time education. "Currently, I am studying at the Lycée Of Albertville in Savoie, where I will sit my Baccalauréat of French next month and where I train physically every day. I’ve already started my preparation for next winter." Julia said. [7]
