With World Cup winners Alexis Pinturault, Clement Noel, Mathieu Faivre, Johan Clarey and Tessa Worley at the top, the French Ski Association has named a competitive team for the Olympic season. 

Despite standout Worley, who finished third in the GS standings last season, the French team has catching up to do on the women’s team in both the tech and speed disciplines. Meanwhile, two of France’s top slaloms skiers, Jean-Baptiste Grange and Julien Lizeroux, have ended their careers, which accounts to the elimination of the slalom group in the French association. Another nine athletes have retired from the French association this year, opening up the team to 41 men and 29 women for the 2021-22 season.
