On the snow, things didn’t quite go as planned for Matthieu Bailet. Though ! Very offensive on skis, the resident of the Inter club of Nice is stayed true to his very daring style and has no regrets. 27th on the downhill, off the track on the Super-G, Matthieu Bailet wants above all to retain the emotion felt when setting off for his first Olympics. “I left there with dreams, not goals, and I’m coming back without frustration. I am really very satisfied with all the emotions experienced. At the end of the descent I remember that I laughed and I cried at the same time in front of the microphones. That’s the Olympics! A mixture of frustration and satisfaction“.
A helmet that caused a sensation
Guest of 100% sport this Thursday evening on France Bleu Azur, the 25-year-old skier told us how he did. Matthieu Bailet also caused a sensation on the spot, with a somewhat special helmet, in the shape of a nod to the Chinese. “I displayed the Chinese wall, the panda and the dragon. And I only received good messages! For me the helmet is a big personal favorite, it’s the only object that can be personalized.”
