Joséphine Pagnier and ski jumping, a long family tradition in Chaux-Neuve

It’s the symbolism year of his 20th birthday (which she will celebrate on June 4), that Joséphine Pagnier participates in the first “real” Olympic Games of his young and already promising career in ski jumping. She leaves for Beijing motivated and realistic “without setting unattainable goals” : “I’m not going for a medal, even if anything can happen”.

Before these 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing (February 4 to 20), the Franc-Comtoise is already Youth Olympic Vice Champion, since the last YOG 2020 (at the Tuffes de Prémanon stadium in the Jura)!

I have to say that ski jumping at the Pagniers in Chaux-Neuve, “The Mecca” of refrigerated ski jumps in the Haut-Doubs, it’s a hell of a long family story. The person in charge of the springboards of Chaux-Neuve, it is the father Joël, since 1996.

Ski jumping is a family tradition for three generations, men and women confused already from the beginning. Josephine’s grandmother already practiced ski jumping when it was… forbidden for women. Joséphine, she started around 7 – 8 years old.
