Mathieu Faivre (born 18 January 1992) is a French World Cup alpine ski racer,[1] [2] and specializes in giant slalom. He has competed for France in two Winter Olympics and six World Championships. In 2021, he won two gold medals for world titles in giant slalom and parallel giant slalom.
Despite not being a big favorite entering the 2021 World Championships in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, Faivre won two gold medals. He took the inaugural parallel giant slalom, and the giant slalom three days later, where he was in fourth place after the first run, more than a half-second back. To date, these two world titles are his standout racing achievements. A week later, he gained his second World Cup win at Bansko, Bulgaria, after a runner-up finish the day before.
Faivre represented France in the giant slalom at the 2022 Winter Olympics. He finished his first run in third position and, despite falling behind Žan Kranjec on his second run, maintained his position to take the bronze medal after a mistake from Stefan Brennsteiner.[6]
Faivre was in a relationship with Olympic and World Cup champion Mikaela Shiffrin beginning in the summer of 2017,[7] but it ended in 2019.[8]
