Miradoli Back on World Cup Snow After Olympic Silver as PM Vows to Improve Catering for 2030

The French skier says the medal has liberated her heading into Soldeu after clocking a top‑10 training time.

Overview

  • Romane Miradoli won Olympic silver in the women's Super‑G at Milan‑Cortina, the only alpine medal for France and the first by a French woman in 24 years.
  • She has resumed competition in Soldeu, posting the ninth‑fastest time in the second downhill training with three races scheduled this weekend.
  • Miradoli says the medal "broke a few barriers" and freed her, keeping the super‑G globe only in the back of her mind as she focuses on skiing openly.
  • She criticized the Cortina Olympic village catering as poor and said coaches placed athletes in hotel rooms, curtailing the full village experience.
  • Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu said France must do better on food and athlete conditions ahead of the 2030 French Alps Winter Games.
