biography

Roni Remme is from Collingwood , Ontario , on the shores of Georgian Bay . At the age of eleven, she attended the National Ski Academy, which also graduated from high school . Despite some injuries, she was accepted into the junior team of the Canadian Ski Association. She has attended the University of Utah since 2015 and is part of the Utah Utes School Sports Department ( NCAA ).

Remme achieved her first major international success in January 2012 when she won the slalom silver medal behind Petra Vlhová at the Winter Youth Olympic Games . As a result, she made her debut in February 2012 in the Nor-Am Cup , where her first top results in the 2012/13 season. In March 2014, she surprisingly won the Canadian state title in the downhill ahead of Marie-Pier Préfontaine and Erin Mielzynski . At two Junior World Championships , where she competed in all disciplines, her best result in 2015 was tenth in the Hafjell slalom . Plagued by injuries, after numerous failures she only managed to achieve consistent results in the Nor-Am Cup in the 2016/17 season .

On December 1, 2017, Remme made her World Cup debut on the Lake Louise Downhill. Four weeks later she won her first points on her fourth start in 26th in the Lienz slalom . In her second slalom start in Zagreb she missed the top 10 in eleventh place by just a hundredth of a second. In her first major event, the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang , she made three starts, with a 23rd place in the descent remaining her best place. She got off to a very successful start in the 2017/18 Nor-Am Cup when she won six races within ten days in December 2017, namely two slaloms, two Super-Gs, one downhill and one combination. Another downhill win was added towards the end of the season. So she decided the overall, downhill and super-G rankings for herself.

In December 2018 she finished eighth in the slalom on Semmering for the first time among the top ten. At her first world championship in Åre she finished fifth in the combination as the best result. Two weeks later she achieved a World Cup podium for the first time with second place in the combination of Crans-Montana .
