Career

Goutt's father is French and his mother is East Timorese. In 1974, at the age of 12, she and her siblings fled to Australia on a fishing boat from the Indonesian occupation . She later met her husband on a trip to France. Goutt started skiing at the age of two. When he was 14, he competed in his first competitions.

Sporty highlights

Thank you letter from the Prime Minister of East Timor to Goutt

Goutt was the first athlete to take part in the Olympic Winter Games for East Timor . He qualified to participate in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi , where the 181 cm tall skier competed in slalom on February 22nd.

At that time, Goutt was ranked 3849 on the Fédération Internationale de Ski (FIS) ranking list. On the Reiteralm in Austria , he reached the finish line in January 10 seconds after the winner and was 27th out of 30 runners. As the only representative of East Timor, Goutt did not use a wildcard , but was able to benefit from the rule that he only had to collect enough points in FIS races.

Goutt received no support from the National Olympic Committee of East Timor. He had to raise clothing, equipment and all other costs totaling 75,000 US dollars with the help of sponsors from France, East Timor and an American sportswear company.

At the opening ceremony, Goutt carried the East Timor flag . His Macedonian trainer, Yohan's mother and a married couple who are family friends and who accompanied the East Timorese Olympic athletes skiing from an early age walked with him to the Sochi Olympic Stadium .

In the first run in the slalom competition, Goutt, who was the last of the 117 participants to start, crossed the finish line 22.31 seconds behind first-placed Mario Matt . Goutt was the slowest, but due to the elimination of numerous participants he ended up in 77th place. In the second run of the competition he was again the slowest, 27.94 seconds behind, but benefited again from the numerous dropouts of many skiers and came up in the end 43rd place.

From February 2nd to 15th, 2015, Goutt took part in the 43rd Alpine World Ski Championships in Vail / Beaver Creek , USA , and reached 44th place in slalom. This time he left two runners behind in the final.

At the first East Timorese Alpine Ski Championships in 2017 , he came in 11th and 17th place in the two competitions with international participants.

At the Winter Asian Games 2017 in Japan , Goutt reached 14th place in giant slalom and 11th place in slalom, both places in the midfield.

In January 2018 he made his debut in the World Cup in the slalom on the Ganslernhang in Kitzbühel . He finished the first round as 53rd and last; he was 19.32 seconds short of the leader after the first round and eventual winner Henrik Kristoffersen .

At the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang , Goutt fell out of the first run in the slalom. In the same year he finished in all four competitions of the East Timorese Alpine Ski Championships only back places. Likewise in 2019 .

Others

Eva Goutt, nee Liiv, the mother of Yohan's father, comes from Estonia . She is the great niece of the Estonian poet and writer Juhan Liiv .
