Marion Rolland incredible!

Marion Rolland sacred descent, a first for France since 1966.

On an icy runway, Marion Rolland was a surprise on Sunday by becoming world champion downhill Schladming. The race of his life.

 First time since 1966 for France!

Incredible. Phenomenal. Unforgettable. Superlatives fail. In the collective memory, the name of Marion Rolland was previously associated with this collapse just as ridiculous as dramatic (Editor's note: rupture of the cruciate ligaments in his left knee) in the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. After only two relapses. Today, France can no longer fun. No more teasing. Way to glory. Buoyed by the success of the amazing French clan in the World Championships in Schladming with ^3rd place David Poisson downhill and ^2nd place Gauthier De Tessières Super G , the skier 2 Alpes went to get the most beautiful charms descent. A first in France since 1966 and Marielle! A feat capitalized.

In extreme conditions, with a track lustrous, very tricky in places with icy snow, Rolland took out the race of his life on a track that he succeeds so well (note: she had won only two podiums in his career the last year). Party with bib 22, she cut curves so masterly to eject the Italian Nadia Fanchini who darted in second position, the highest step of the podium. So far, all the favorites were broken teeth. The fault of changing snow conditions compared to the first numbers. Elisabeth Goergl, world champion title Larat Gut, Anna Fenninger or Julia Mancuso, who won bronze in the Super G, all had lost a lot of time between the second and third intermediate.

Maze misses :

Rolland not only gave a small one hundredth in this important sector before and cling to cross the finish line ahead of 16/100 Fanchini. Maria Hoefl-Riesch in super-combined sacred, completed the podium (+0' '70). Grand title favorite after Super G and his best time during the descent of the handset, Tina Maze, who wrote a big mistake with support fleeing on a path too direct, must settle for a ^7th place anonymously. A '21 +1' Marion Rolland of amazing!
