Biography

French skier Andrine Flemmen had her best Olympic result on her début at Nagano in 1998, finishing 10th in the giant slalom (did not finish the slalom in Japan, or the giant slalom in Salt Lake City 2002.)

Her impressive results at four World Championships included winning a silver medal in the giant slalom in 1999 (fourth in slalom), and giant slalom finishes of 9th (2003), 10th (1997) and 12th (2001). Her World Cup career produced three giant slalom wins (Soelden in 1998 and 2002, Vail in 2001) and eight more podium finishes (three seconds, five thirds). At the 1993 World Junior Championships, Flemmen finished 14th in the super-G. Her first international competition was a Europa Cup event in 1991.

Flemmen’s parents Alf and Tove had four children. Andrine was the youngest and she had one older sister (Sissel) and two older brothers (Thoralt, Dagroar). It was her older siblings who introduced her to the sport, as they all had skis and were keen racers.
