Michèle Jacot (born January 5, 1952 in Le Pont-de-Beauvoisin ) is a former French ski racer .

biography

She has won ten world cup races in her career , including one downhill , six giant slalom and three slalom . In the 1969/70 season she won the overall World Cup and the discipline World Cup in slalom. To date, Jacot is the only French woman to have won the overall World Cup .

She celebrated her greatest success in title competitions at the World Ski Championships in Val Gardena in 1970 , when she became world champion in combined . In the slalom she also won the bronze medal behind Ingrid Lafforgue and Barbara Ann Cochran . These world championships were also part of the World Cup, which means that their bronze slalom medal also earned them corresponding World Cup points. However, at that time there was no combination classification in the World Cup (this only came from 1974/75), so that her name is missing in the World Cup ratings.

After she was unable to race after the 1972/73 season due to a serious fall in training in Cervinia (her career seemed to be over), she was unable to build on her previous performance after her return to work. The 1974 World Ski Championships in St. Moritz , where they won the silver medal behind Hanni Wenzel in the slalom , was an exception, and a direct surprise .

From 1970 to 1976 Jacot was three times French champion , twice in the combination and once in the slalom. In addition, on January 31, 1970 she was the winner of the Kandahar combination held in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and on January 9, 1971 she won the combination (the "Staufen Cup") at the World Cup races in Oberstaufen .
