Encyclopedia > Carole Montillet

Carole Montillet (born April 7, 1973) is an Olympic downhill skiing (alpine skiing) champion and winner of the 2002_2003 World Cup Super_G title.

Contents

Career

Born in Grenoble, France, Carole became a member of the Villard de Lans ski club, and in 1994 and 1998, finished 14th in the Super-G at the Winter Olympics at Lillehammer and Nagano respectively.


In January 2002 Carole was chosen by the Comité national olympique et sportif français to be the flag bearer for the 2002 Winter Olympics at Salt Lake City.


Her victory in the downhill ski event at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City was her first major triumph. She dedicated this to her former teammate Regine Cavagnoud, who was killed in a training accident in 2001.


Her achievements over the last year are more remarkable because she has suffered multiple serious injuries early in her career, such as torn knee ligaments.
