Racing career [edit]

Born in Saint-Martin-d'Hères, Isère, she made her World Cup debut in January 2004 and attained her first top-10 in February 2009 in Bansko. She has two World Cup podium finishes, both at the finals at Schladming in March 2012.[1][2]

After making her first Olympic team in 2010, Rolland took a tumble in the downhill only four seconds from the starting gate at Whistler.[3][4] She has competed for France in three World Championships, in 2009, 2011 and 2013. Without a podium in the 2013 season, Rolland won the downhill world title at Schladming for her first career win.[5][6]
