biography

Noël comes from Ventron in the Vosges department . In November 2013, at the age of 16, he took part in FIS races for the first time. The first appearances in the European Cup followed two months later. At the European Olympic Winter Youth Festival 2015 in Liechtenstein, he was classified fifth in slalom. In December 2015 he was able to win an FIS race for the first time. He made his debut in the World Cup on December 11, 2017 at the giant slalom in Val-d'Isère , where he did not finish. At the end of the 2016/17 season, he surprisingly became French slalom champion, leaving well-known racers such as Victor Muffat-Jeandet and two-time world champion Jean-Baptiste Grange behind.

On December 10, 2017, Noël finished 20th in the slalom from Val-d'Isère, winning his first World Cup points. Three days later he was on the podium in a European Cup race for the first time in Obereggen . At the beginning of 2018 he was already at the top of the world, on January 21 with 8th place in Wengen and two days later with 6th place in Schladming . At the beginning of February, he won the gold medal at the 2018 Junior World Championship in Davos with a lead of over two and a half seconds. Two weeks later, at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang , he was fourth in the slalom and missed another medal by just four hundredths of a second.

At the beginning of the 2018/19 World Cup season, Noël finished in fourth place twice. On January 13, 2019, he achieved his first podium finish in a World Cup race with second place in the Adelboden slalom . A week later, on January 20, 2019, he celebrated his first World Cup victory at the Lauberhorn Slalom in Wengen . After another six days, he also won the slalom on the Ganslernhang in Kitzbühel . He finished the slalom at the 2019 World Championships in Åre in seventh place. At the end of the season, he won the Soldeu slalom , which put him in second place in the discipline classification. In the following World Cup winter 2019/20 , Noël also took second place in the discipline classification, although in the end he was only two points behind Henrik Kristoffersen . He won in Zagreb , Wengen and Chamonix ; there were three more podium places.
