Fabrice Guy
Fabrice Guy ( born December 30, 1968 in Pontarlier ) is a former French Nordic combined.
Career
Guy trained already with the age of seven on the nearby ski jump of Chaux -Neuve. His international debut came on 17 January 1987 Nordic Combined World Cup in Autrans. As the seventh he immediately won the first World Cup points. Even with his future World Cups of the season in March in Falun and Oslo reach him point successes.
After a year's break, Guy came to the 1988/89 season back in the World Cup squad and missed it in Saalfelden sea in fifth just under his first podium. In March, finally, for the first time he managed to jump in Lake Placid in third place on the podium at a Weltcuo race. In January 1990, he achieved his best result so far in second place in Saalfelden. For the season 1990/91 he also started the first time in B- World Cup, where Guy won the individual competition in Chaux -Neuve.
In the Nordic World Ski Championships 1991 in Val di Fiemme, he won jointly with Francis Xavier Girard Repellin and the silver medal in the team competition of the Nordic Combined. In December 1991, Guy was able to win his first two World Cups in Štrbské Pleso and Courchevel. In January, he won in Schonach his third World Cup in a row. After he won the World Cup race in Murau, he traveled as a medal favorite at the 1992 Winter Olympic Games in Albertville. There he won the individual competition by far the gold medal. In team competition, he missed together with Reppelin and Sylvain Guillaume its another medal just barely and landed on rank four. After Guy was able to win the World Cup in Trondheim and Oslo Holmenkollen little later, he secured the overall World Cup victory.
As a result, it was no longer possible Guy, to build on this success. This was due to the changeover to the new V- Style by the International Ski Federation. At the Nordic World Ski Championships 1997 in Trondheim, he still won a bronze medal, also achieving even a bronze medal in the team competition at the XVIII. 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano.
He ended his career after the Nordic World Ski Championships 1999 in Ramsau am Dachstein, where he once again missed a medal with the team as a fourth. In the sprint race, he missed as the world's top 39 significantly.
In his career, Guy won a total of eight times the French Championship. After the end of his active career Guy has worked as editor of the Nordic Magazine.
