Julien Lizeroux (born September 5, 1979 in Moûtiers , Savoy ) is a French ski racer . He has been a member of the French national ski team since 1998 and became vice world champion in slalom and super combined in 2009 . So far he has won three World Cup races and has been French champion three times .

biography

Lizeroux was born as the son of a mountain guide and a ski instructor in the French high mountain region of Savoy. At the age of seven he became a member of the sports club of La Plagne and from the age of 15 attended the ski school in Albertville , which he graduated from high school.

From December 1994 on Lizeroux took part regularly in FIS races , in January 1997 he started in the European Cup for the first time. He celebrated his first significant successes in the 1997/98 season, when he won the bronze medal in combination at the Junior World Championships in Megève and the slalom title at the French Junior Championships and was runner-up in the Super-G. After his jump to the French national ski team, he became French combined champion and runner-up in slalom in the 1999/2000 season . In the slalom classification of the European Cup, he was seventh at the end of the season.

On January 23, 2000, Lizeroux competed in his first World Cup race in Kitzbühel . At the slalom of Madonna di Campiglio on December 19, 2000, he scored his first World Cup points in 15th place, and in February 2001 he took part in a world championship for the first time in St. Anton am Arlberg . A serious injury, which he sustained at the World Cup race in Aspen in November 2001 , forced him to take a year off from his career.

His return to the World Cup was difficult. In none of the races of the 2002/03 season Lizeroux could qualify for the second round. At the end of the season, he suffered a fracture of the lateral ankle at the French championships . After his recovery, the 2003/04 season was mixed. In the World Cup he always failed to qualify for the final round, in the European Cup he only got three placings in the top 30. It was only in the 2004/05 season that he was able to build on his earlier successes in the European Cup.

In January 2005, Lizeroux suffered another injury at the World Cup race in Chamonix , which meant the premature end of the season. With good performances in the European Cup (two wins and second place in the slalom classification of the 2006/07 season ) he fought his way back into the French World Cup team. In the 2007/08 season the Frenchman was able to establish himself among the world's best. He was among the top ten in ten of the eleven World Cup slaloms and achieved fourth place as the best result in Kitzbühel on January 20, 2008. In the Super Combined, he also achieved two top 10 results and in the Slalom World Cup he was sixth. After placing over a dozen in the top ten, Julien Lizeroux celebrated his first victory on January 25, 2009 on the Ganslernhang in Kitzbühel. Five weeks later he reached first place again in the slalom of the Vitranc Cup in Kranjska Gora . In the Slalom World Cup he was able to improve to third place in the 2008/09 season .

At the 2009 World Championships in Val-d'Isère , Lizeroux won the silver medal in the super combined and in the slalom. He stayed without a medal at the 2010 Winter Olympics , where his best result was ninth place in the slalom. With a win at the Chuenisbärgli in Adelboden , a second place and two third places, he was only just beaten by the Austrian Reinfried Herbst in the 2009/10 slalom world cup . He was also among the top ten in the overall World Cup for the first time. The 2010/11 season had to end Lizeroux because of persistent pain in his left knee in late January. After an initial operation in February and another in June of that year, he had to take a break for the entire 2011/12 season .

After missing the 2012/13 season due to various complications , he made his comeback on November 17, 2013 at the Levi Slalom , where he finished 17th. In the course of the 2014/15 season Lizeroux was able to establish himself again in the extended world elite, with six results in the top 15. He caused a sensation on March 22, 2015 at the World Cup final in Méribel , when he immediately followed in the first round of the slalom involuntarily did a somersault at the start. In the 2015/16 season , Lizeroux was placed in the top 10 of a World Cup race four times, as well as in the following 2016/17 season . At the World Cup in 2017 in St. Moritz he was in the team competition as a substitute runner in action and received a gold medal awarded.
