Valentin Giraud Moine (born 23 January 1992)[1] is a French World Cup alpine ski racer and specializes in the speed events of downhill and super-G.
Born in Gap, Hautes-Alpes, Giraud Moine made his World Cup debut in November 2013 in the downhill in Lake Louise, Canada. His first podium was in downhill in March 2016 at Kvitfjell, Norway.[1]
On 27 January 2017, Giraud Moine was injured after crashing while competing in the men's World Cup downhill at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, and he was airlifted to a hospital.[2] He dislocated both knees and could have lost the use of his legs without the rapid medical intervention.[3] [4]
Giraud Moine recovered from his injuries and went on to win the Final European Cup Downhill ranking in 2020. In December 2020, he finished 14th in the Val d'Isère downhill.[3]
He competed as sighted guide for Hyacinthe Deleplace at the 2022 Winter Paralympics held in Beijing, China.
