Career

Oreiller competed in his first FIS races in December 2003 . Three years later he celebrated his first victory in a giant slalom in Laax . In 2007 he became Swiss junior champion in giant slalom and super-G and he took part in the 2007 junior world championship in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee / Flachau . There he finished 16th in the downhill and 33rd in the giant slalom. He couldn't finish the slalom and the super-G.

Oreiller had his first start in the European Cup in February 2005, but it was not until January 2007 that he scored the first points in the downhill from Sarntal / Reinswald . The first top 10 place followed shortly afterwards. Results among the top ten remained the exception for the time being. At the Swiss Championships in 2009 , he reached third place in the super combined. In October 2009, Oreiller competed in his first World Cup race on the Rettenbachferner in Sölden . In this giant slalom, however, he could not qualify for the second round. This season this was his only World Cup race, he started again in the European Cup and found the connection to the top in the 2009/10 season . On January 14th, 2010 he celebrated his first victory in the downhill run on Patscherkofel and with another two podium places he reached third place in the downhill classification and sixth in the overall and super-G classification. At the Swiss Championships in 2010 he won the giant slalom title (at the same time as Justin Murisier ).

In the 2010/11 season Oreiller started next to the European Cup more in the World Cup, but achieved several failures only 50th place. On January 11, 2012 he suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in the European Cup descent from Val-d'Isère , whereupon the 2011/12 season came to an early end for him.
