A terrible accident occurred until Simond was preparing for the upcoming race Red Bull Alpine Park, which was canceled immediately after the tragedy.
The details of the accident that took the life of the young athletes are not yet completely clear. According to the first information, Margot fell during the training on the Envers de Bellevarde, something before 13 hours ago. The emergency tried to help her, but the doctor failed to resubmit.
The circumstances that led to the fall and tragic outcome are the subject of investigations opened by the State Prosecutor’s Office in Albertville. The ski community, from colleague athletes to officials and fans, expressed deep sadness and disbelief because of this terrible loss.
Val d’Isère is one of the world’s most prestigious ski resorts and hosts numerous World Cup competitions. Originators of the Red Bull Alpine Park event, for which Simond was prepared, which was founded by the Olympic winner of Clément Noel, adopted the decision to cancel the event from respect for the deceased skiers and its family.
This event should have gathered young talents in attractive disciplines, but now will remain in the shadow of this non-created tragedy.
Margot Simond considered one of the most promising young skiers of the generation in France. Her talent was indisputable, and she also confirmed the title of the Junior Champion in France in Slalom. Slalom, as a technically most demanding discipline of alpine skiing, was her specialty.
