Story that defines who you are
"I've been French champion of moguls skiing at 12 but then tore my ACL at 13 and got surgery, came back at 14 and became French vice champion of Slopestyle but then tore my other ACL at 16, got surgery again and had to stop freestyle skiing. Started Freeride skiing at 17 but got really sick at 19 and went 6 weeks at hospital few months later I was doing my first podium on a FWQ 4* event. My motivation and my determination brought me where I am today."
