biography

Rolland contested her first FIS race in December 1997. Her first start in the European Cup was in December 1998, and her first victory was on January 24, 2006 in the Super-G in Megève . In the World Cup , Rolland started for the first time on January 30, 2004 in the downhill from Haus im Ennstal . A little more than a year later, on February 26, 2005, she surprisingly finished 12th on the downhill run from San Sicario and won her first World Cup points. The next World Cup points she won only on December 20, 2006 with place 27 in the downhill from Val-d'Isère . Three weeks later, she had to end the 2006/07 season prematurely after falling during downhill training in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee .

In the first World Cup race after her injury break, the departure from Sestriere on February 9, 2008, Rolland reached eleventh place. From now on she was able to classify herself regularly in the points and at the end of February 2009 she achieved her first top 10 results in the World Cup with a seventh and a sixth place in the downhill runs from Bansko . Before that, she had already achieved fifth place in the downhill as the best French woman at the 2009 World Championships in Val-d'Isère and was also 16th in the Super-G and 18th in the Super Combined.

Rolland achieved her best World Cup results so far in January 2010 in Haus im Ennstal , where she finished fifth and fourth in both downhill runs. On February 17, during the departure of the 2010 Winter Olympics , she suffered a cruciate ligament rupture in her left knee in a fall shortly after the start . In the Downhill World Cup she reached ninth place in 2009/10 despite the early end of the season. In the winter of 2010/11 , Rolland's best World Cup results were two seventh places. At the 2011 World Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen , she was 20th in the downhill and 21st in the Super-G.

In the last downhill of the 2011/12 season , at the World Cup finals in Schladming , Rolland achieved her first World Cup podium finish with second place. In the Downhill World Cup, she achieved sixth place. On the following day she also achieved a podium finish with third place in the Super-G. At the 2013 World Championships in Schladming, Rolland surprisingly became the downhill world champion after a rather disappointing 22nd place in the Super-G. Her best result in the 2012/13 season had previously been fourth in Cortina d'Ampezzo . In September 2013, Rolland suffered a cruciate ligament rupture in her right knee during summer training in Chile , which meant that she missed the entire 2013/14 season. Rolland also missed much of the 2014/15 season due to knee problems and only took part in the races in Val-d'Isère and Cortina d'Ampezzo . In the Super-G of Cortina, she injured her right knee again. After she had to skip the World Cup , where she would have had a secure starting position as the defending champion, she ended her career on February 24, 2015.
