We prepare the thermos of coffee or we set the alarm clock for the next night. At the Beijing Winter Games, there was the Super-G ski event and the entry into the running of Tiffany Gauthier (at 4 am French time). The 28-year-old skier from Saint-Etienne is having her second Olympiad after Pyeongchang in 2018 (13th in the downhill and 22nd in the Super-G).
Using all those tears and smiles – Tiffany Gauthier
She will also compete in the downhill event on February 15, but it is clearly on the Super-G next night that she will attempt the impossible: “Downhill I have more trouble because of my knees. The ambition is to tell yourself that it’s a one-day race and hope that all the work done over the past four years, all the ups and downs, all those tears and smiles, can be of use to me. It is to have no regrets. To say to ourselves that we gave everything and that if there is better than us it is that they had even more destiny with them“.
Tiffany Gautier will also start the downhill race on January 15 at 4 a.m. (French time).
