Career

Mélissa Voutaz suffered several injuries early in her career. After her first cruciate ligament tear , she first took part in FIS races in March 2007 . In the same month she reached several top 10 placements, which she also succeeded in the next winter. After a second cruciate ligament tear in November 2008, Voutaz had to pause the entire 2008/2009 season. From January 2010 she started regularly in the European Cup in addition to FIS races , but had not won any points by the end of the season. She celebrated her first successes at the national level at the Swiss Junior Championships in March 2010 with victories in the Super Combined, Downhill and Super G.

Voutaz won her first points in the European Cup on December 4th, 2010 as the 25th of the super combined from Kvitfjell . Two weeks later, she achieved her first podium finish with second place in the downhill from St. Moritz . In the 2010/2011 season , another two top 10 placements followed in the downhill, before she had to end the season prematurely after a new knee injury. She fell during downhill training at the 2011 Junior World Championships and suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee. In the winter of 2011/2012, Voutaz achieved a top 10 result in the European Cup and three podiums in FIS races, but when she left for the European Cup final in Aosta Valley on March 15, she suffered another cruciate ligament rupture in her left knee, whereupon she retired.
