General Interest

FRENCH TEAM SPIRIT
A member of the bronze medal-winning French 4x10m relay team at the Oberstdorf 2021 World Championships: "The team spirit is really fantastic, a collective power that enables us to give our best in this special competition. We are competing with, and for, the others. You just don't want to disappoint the others. This is really boosting me." (ledauphine.com, 12 Mar 2021)

He loves to spend his time in the mountains and to climb with friends, and has explored climbing paths in South America. "This was a timeless adventure. Friendship, climbing, nature, music." (Instagram, 17 Nov 2020; salomon.com, May 2021)

Milestones

OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES
When he was a child, posters of French teammates Jean-Marc Gaillard and Maurice Manificat were on the walls of his room, with whom he won a bronze medal in the 4x10km relay at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games. Called "jet fighter" during this relay, he was almost tied with Norway's Simen Hegstad Kruger (the world's best skier in this discipline), and France was in second place after he skied his third leg. "I had great legs today, the skis were great, the technicians did a hell of a job, when everything is green, things can only go for the best." (cimalpes.ski, 5 Mar 2018; L'Equipe.fr, 18 Feb 2018)

Individually, his best finish was 13th in skiathlon.

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
Won both his World Championship bronze medals in the 4x10km relay (2019, 2021). Competed in two Junior World Championships with a best individual finish of ninth in the skiathlon (2013) and two top-five finishes in the 4x5km relay (fourth in 2013, fifth in 2012).

WORLD CUP
Had his first podium finish (third) in 2016 in the 4x7.5km relay in La Clusaz. Still looking for his first individual World Cup podium finish.
