## Interview with Former Olympian, Jean-Pierre Martin
**Interviewer:** Jean-Pierre, the French women’s team is looking strong heading into Sunday’s slalom at Killington. Do you think they can build on their performance from the Giant Slalom and challenge for a podium spot?
**Jean-Pierre:** Absolutely! Especially with someone like Clarisse Brèche carrying that momentum from her 16th place finish in the Giant Slalom. She’s proven time and again that she can handle the pressure and has the skills to take on the best. A top-three finish isn’t out of reach for her.
**Interviewer:** What about the other French skiers? Chiara Pogneaux, Marie Lamure, Marion Chevrier, and Caitlin McFarlane – can they make an impact?
**Jean-Pierre:** They definitely have the potential. This course suits all types of skiers, and it often comes down to who manages the course conditions best. Someone like McFarlane, starting further down, could really surprise us. It’s always exciting seeing these less-experienced skiers fight their way up the ranks.
**Interviewer:** Do you think the French team can upset some of the favorites this weekend?
**Jean-Pierre:** They have the talent to do it, no doubt. But it’ll be incredibly tough. This field is stacked. It’s going to be a nail-biter!
