Stéphane Tissot (born May 30, 1979 in Bonneville ) is a former French ski racer who was particularly successful in slalom . In this discipline he reached two podium places in the World Cup , two victories in the European Cup and was twice French champion .
Career
Tissot competed in his first FIS races in January 1995. He first took part in a European Cup race in March 1997, but did not start regularly until December 2001. In his first season he celebrated a victory and made it onto the podium four more times and won the slalom ranking.
Tissot made his World Cup debut on December 10, 2001 in Madonna di Campiglio . He immediately took eleventh place. He was unable to repeat this result for a long time, because in the following four years he was able to finish only five of 31 World Cup races. The positive exception was tenth place in Beaver Creek on December 5, 2004. He also had good success at the 2005 World Championships in Bormio , where he was the best French slalom in tenth place.
In his first World Cup race of the 2005/06 season , Tissot surprisingly finished second on December 4, 2005 in Beaver Creek with the fastest time in the second round. He repeated this result on March 18, 2006 in Åre . With three other places in the top seven, he reached sixth place in the Slalom World Cup this season. When he took part in the Olympics in Turin in 2006 , however, he already failed in the first slalom run.
At the beginning of the 2006/07 season Tissot managed to follow up on its results from last year with fourth place in Levi . But after that he couldn't finish two races. In a serious fall in the Aosta Valley on December 23, 2006, he broke his tibia and fibula and was unable to compete in races for almost two years. He only took part in the Ski World Cup again in the 2008/09 season , but won neither this nor the next winter World Cup points. He qualified only once in these two years, in the Schladming night slalom in January 2009, for the second round, but was also canceled there. Finally, Tissot ended his career after the 2009/10 season.
