Alexandre Anselmet (born April 11, 1980 in Chambéry ) is a former French ski racer . His specialty was slalom .

Career

Anselmet competed in the first FIS races in December 1995, the first start in the European Cup followed in January 1998. His first major success came at the 1999 Junior World Championships in Pra-Loup, France, when he won the bronze medal in slalom. A year later he took fourth slalom rank in Québec .

Anselmet made his debut in the Ski World Cup at the slalom races in Aspen in November 2001. On January 6, 2002, he reached 26th place in Adelboden and scored World Cup points for the first time. After that, however, he was unable to score for a long time, because he usually did not qualify for the second run. It was not until March 2006 that he finished 21st and 16th in the two slaloms in Shigakōgen, Japan, and won World Cup points for the first time in four years.

On December 3, 2006, Anselmet achieved his best World Cup result: In the Beaver Creek slalom , he moved up from 29th place after the first run with the best time in the second run to seventh place. However, he was unable to continue this success for the time being, because the Frenchman repeatedly had to struggle with failures or failed to qualify for the second run. From the following 19 races he finished only 3 at the finish. It was not until January 2009 that he achieved a good result in Zagreb with 12th place.

In his two world championships in Åre in 2007 and Val-d'Isère in 2009 , he started in the slalom, but did not finish both times. Anselmet ended his career after the 2009/2010 season.
