Jacques Gaillard (born August 16, 1950 ) is a former French skier and today's ski jumping coach.
Career
Gaillard made his international debut as a ski jumper at the Four Hills Tournament 1970/71 . After a disappointing 65th place on the Schattenbergschanze in Oberstdorf , he jumped to 29th place in Garmisch-Partenkirchen . However, after he was unable to build on this result either in Innsbruck or in Bischofshofen , he finished the tour in 58th place overall.
Also in the following Four Hills Tournament in 1971/72 he missed a place in the top 80 in all competitions and finished the tour in 94th overall. Despite this failure, he was part of the squad for the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo, Japan . In addition to ski jumping, he also competed in Nordic combined for the first time . If he only reached 51st place in ski jumping on the large hill, he landed 35th place in the Gundersen individual combination.
In the Four Hills Tournament 1972/73 Gaillard could only improve slightly and was 92nd overall. The best individual result was 87th place in Oberstdorf. He experienced a further increase in performance at the Four Hills Tournament 1973/74 , before he finished his best Four Hills Tournament 1974/75 as 56th. The best result was the 47th place in Oberstdorf. He finished his last Four Hills Tournament in 1975/76 as 79th.
His last international tournament was the 1976 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck . Here Gaillard only started in the Nordic combined and reached 25th place in the individual.
Since the end of his active career, Gaillard has been working as a ski jumping trainer since 1978 and currently looks after the French ski jumping women.
