biography

Henri Battilani comes from Gressan in the Aosta Valley and starts for the Esercito Italiano sports club .

At the age of 15 he competed in his first FIS races . His first national success was in April 2010 in Santa Caterina as a youth champion in the downhill. In the following winter he made his debut in the downhill from Sarntal in the European Cup , in which he still has a seventh place (downhill in Val-d'Isère in January 2014) as the best result. In Roccaraso , Battilani took part in an Alpine Ski Junior World Championship for the first time in 2012 and finished 12th and 24th in downhill and super-G. After downgrading in his next appearance in Québec , he was able to improve significantly in Jasná 2014 and Hafjell 2015 . In Norway he prevailed against Marcus Monsen and Niels Hintermann in his last JWM race and won the gold medal in the downhill.

On November 30, 2014, Battilani made his World Cup debut in the Super-G of Lake Louise . At the end of the 2014/15 season, as the reigning junior world champion, he was eligible to start in the last downhill in Méribel , but won no World Cup points in 25th place due to the final regulation. He did this for the first time a year later in the downhill from Kvitfjell , which he finished in 28th place. After further isolated appearances in the World Cup, he fell during the European Cup downhill training in Méribel in January 2017 and sustained an ankle injury . In the following season he found it difficult to catch up in the European Cup and only finished twice in the points. He only started twice in the World Cup.
