biography
Tissot took part in FIS races for the first time in December 2001 , the first start in the European Cup followed in January 2005. Since January 2006, he has regularly participated in European Cup races, almost exclusively in slalom, and won the slalom from Pozza di Fassa on January 7, 2006 with 18th place points for the first time. Tissot achieved its first major successes in February 2006 when he became French junior champion in slalom and downhill. In March he was also used at the Junior World Championships 2006 in the Canadian province of Québec , where his best result was only 31st place in the giant slalom. In his special discipline, slalom, he failed in the first round.
In the 2006/07 European Cup season , Tissot was among the top ten in three slaloms, with his best results being two sixth places in Salla and Pozza di Fassa . In January and March 2007 he also took part in four slaloms in the World Cup for the first time, in which he could not qualify for the second round. Many failures had the Frenchman in the 2007/08 season recorded in the European Cup and he came only twice just below the top 30. Only at the end of the 2008/09 season he ran ninth in the slalom in Crans-Montana back to the top 10. In his two World Cup starts in these two seasons, he again did not reach the second round. He achieved this for the first time on December 21, 2009 in the slalom on the Gran Risa in Alta Badia , where he won his first World Cup points with 15th place. Since then he has been an integral part of the French slalom world cup team. Tissot scored two more points in January 2010 in Adelboden and Wengen . Then he was also used at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver , where he reached 16th place in the slalom.
In the 2010/11 season Tissot was among the fastest 20 in three World Cup slaloms, with eleventh place on March 6th in Kranjska Gora, his best result to date. He also won World Cup points for the first time in the super combination. At the 2011 World Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen , the Frenchman was eliminated in the first slalom run. Tissot achieved two top 20 results in the 2011/12 World Cup season .
