Overview
- France’s Olympic committee published the final batch of selections, confirming seven male Alpine skiers: Clément Noël, Paco Rassat, Steven Amiez, Léo Anguenot, Nils Allègre, Nils Alphand and Maxence Muzaton.
- Triple Olympic medalist Alexis Pinturault was omitted after limited results this winter in giant slalom following two knee injuries in 2024 and 2025.
- The French Ski Federation announced an eighth men’s Alpine quota via reallocation and will name the additional athlete on January 28 under the same selection criteria.
- A reduced FIS allocation of seven men and eight women forced hard choices, leaving Anguenot as the lone giant slalom entrant and emphasizing slalom and speed profiles.
- French biathlon enters Milan-Cortina in strong form as Éric Perrot reclaimed the overall World Cup lead with a mass start win, Julia Simon won the women’s mass start with Océane Michelon second, and Lou Jeanmonnot will arrive in the yellow bib.
