Career

Midol began his sports career as an alpine ski racer . From 2005 to 2010 he mainly competed in FIS races . At the end of the 2009/10 season he switched to the freestyle discipline ski cross. He drove his first World Cup race in January 2011 in Alpe d'Huez , which he finished in 27th place. In February 2013 he achieved his first top 10 placement in the World Cup with ninth place in Sochi . At the subsequent World Championships in 2013 in Voss , he won the silver medal.

In the 2014/15 season , Midol was in the top ten seven times in eleven World Cup races. He achieved his first World Cup podium finishes with third place in Arosa and second place in Megève . At the 2015 World Championships on Kreischberg , he came 14th. He finished the season in third place in the ski cross discipline. In the following season 2015/16 he reached seven top 10 placements in the World Cup. He won his first World Cup victory in the Bokwang Phoenix Park in Pyeongchang and finished sixth in the ski cross discipline at the end of the season. He finished second at the Winter X Games 2016 and finished 17th at the 2017 World Championships in the Sierra Nevada .

In the 2016/17 and 2017/18 winters, Midol only sporadically made it into the top ten in the World Cup. Due to insufficient results, he was unable to qualify for the 2018 Winter Olympics. In contrast, he achieved a marked increase in performance in the 2018/19 season . In the World Cup he was on the podium seven times, including twice as a winner; he was never ranked worse than seventh. Because of this consistency at a high level, he secured the victory in the discipline ranking early. However, he went empty at the 2019 World Cup in Park City , where only 9th place looked out.
