Earlier this week the French Ski Federation announced its selection for the 2020/21 freestyle team with more than 20 athletes among five freestyle disciplines: ski cross, moguls, slopestyle, big air and halfpipe, ready to represent “Les Blues” in a highly anticipated 2020/21 season and the pinnacle event of the season - The FIS Freestyle Ski, Snowboard & Freeski World Championships Zhangjiakou 2021 (CHN).

The French team is coming off another very successful World Cup campaign with 26 top-3 finishes in 2019/20, including 11 victories from the likes of Marielle Berger Sabbatel, Tess Ledeux, Antoine Adelisse and Perrine Laffont, who also claimed her third moguls, and her second overall freestyle World Cup crystal globe. In the overall Nations Cup standing France finished the season in the fourth place behind Canada, USA and Switzerland.

Besides the aforementioned Laffont, Ledeux or Adelisse, as well as other French starts like Sebastian Midol, Benjamin Cavet and Jean-Frederic Chapuis, the 2020/21 team will also welcome back the halfpipe legend Kevin Rolland, who returned to skiing this spring, 11 months after his life-threatening injury.
