Last name : Baud. First name : Frederic (Fred, daily). Rankings: 27th and 37th individually; 6th in relay with the French Nordic combined team, during 2002 Olympics of Salt Lake City. And now, twenty years later, the beautiful Olympic history is repeating itself. Only the first name changes… Name: Baud. First name : Matteo. Rankings: to come during the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics (February 4 to 20).
2021 Junior World Vice Nordic Combined Champion, Mattéo Baud is only playing his second season on the great world Seniors circuit, where he has already started to make a name for himself… and a first name, via some promising results. The young combined from Métabief, in Haut-Doubs, will now discover the magic of the Olympic Games.
And it’s not made up: the year of his 20th birthday (this June 26) and, exactly, 20 years after the only Olympiad of a certain Frédéric Baud… his father, who therefore already represented the Blues, in the same discipline, at the American Olympiad in Salt Lake City in 2002.
