Fabrice Jean-Marie Guy (born December 30, 1968 in Pontarlier ) is a former French Nordic combined skier .

Career

Guy trained on the nearby ski jump of Chaux-Neuve when he was seven years old . He made his international debut on January 17, 1987 in the Nordic Combined World Cup in Autrans . In seventh place, he immediately won his first World Cup points. He also scored points at his other World Cups of the season in March in Falun and Oslo .

After a year break, Guy came back to the World Cup squad for the 1988/89 season and narrowly missed his first podium finish in Saalfelden am Steinernen Meer in fifth. In March, in Lake Placid , he finally made it onto the podium for the first time in a World Cup race in third place. In January 1990 he was able to achieve his best result to date in Saalfelden in second place. For the 1990/91 season he also started in the B World Cup for the first time, with Guy winning the individual competition in Chaux-Neuve.

At the Nordic World Ski Championships in 1991 in Val di Fiemme , together with Francis Repellin and Xavier Girard, he won the silver medal in the Nordic Combined team competition . In December 1991 Guy won his first two World Cups in Štrbské Pleso and Courchevel . In January he won his third World Cup in a row in Schonach in the Black Forest . After he also won the World Cup race in Murau , he traveled to the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville as a medal favorite . There he won the gold medal in the individual competition by a large margin. In the team competition, together with Reppelin and Sylvain Guillaume , he narrowly missed his other medal and ended up in fourth place. After Guy won the World Cup in Trondheim and in Oslo on Holmenkollen a little later , he secured the overall World Cup victory.

As a result, Guy was no longer able to build on this success. The reason for this was the changeover to the new V-style by the international ski association. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Trondheim in 1997 , he won a bronze medal and also achieved a bronze medal with the relay at the XVIII. 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano .

He ended his active career after the Nordic World Ski Championships in Ramsau am Dachstein in 1999 , where he and the team just barely missed a medal in fourth place. In the sprint race, he clearly missed the top of the world as 39th. In the World Cup, Guy achieved a total of 61 points, including 39 places in the top ten. At the national level, Guy won the French championship eight times.

After the end of his active career, Guy worked as the editor of Nordic Magazine .
