biography
Revillet began taking part in children's ski races when she was ten, and won several French championship titles in the youth categories. In December 2001 she competed in an FIS race for the first time . In 2002 she tore a cruciate ligament and was out for over a year. Appearances in the European Cup followed from January 2004. At the Junior World Championships in 2005 she was fourth in the downhill, a year later she won the bronze medal in the same discipline. In 2006 she became French downhill champion for the first of three times .
Without ever having achieved a podium position in the European Cup, Revillet took part in a World Cup race for the first time on December 19, 2006 , the downhill in Val-d'Isère . As the 29th of the super combined in Tarvisio , she won World Cup points for the first time in March 2007.

On February 21, 2009, Revillet achieved her best World Cup result when she finished the downhill in Tarvisio in fifth place. In the next winter she achieved four top 10 results in World Cup downhill runs and thus twelfth place in the Downhill World Cup. She could not maintain this level in the 2010/11 season .
