Des jeux olympiques d'hiver 2018 vers les championnats du monde 2019
<h2><strong>2019 World Championship objectives and surpassing myself.</strong></h2>
<p>My name is<strong> Elise</strong>, I am <strong>27 years old</strong> and my passion is <strong>downhill skiing.</strong> I have been competing since I was 8 years old. At 15, I left the Vosges to join a club of the Alps and achieved my biggest goals.<strong> I took online courses</strong>. After many disappointments, I decided to return to the Vosges to finish my studies.</p>

<h3><strong>An Olympic Turn.</strong></h3>
<p>In <strong>2012</strong>, my <strong>grandmother told me </strong>about my <strong>second nationality</strong>. This became not only the opportunity<strong> to achieve my dreams</strong>, but also to <strong>make my grandmother very proud.</strong></p>
<p>In <strong>2014</strong>, I <strong>marked the history of Malta</strong> by becoming the <strong>first Maltese</strong> to participate in the <strong>Olympic Winter Games</strong>. I ranked<strong> 42nd</strong> in Slalom and <strong>60th in Giant</strong>. Even so, and while this was an <strong>amazing experience</strong>, I was <strong>not very proud of my results</strong>.</p>
<p>Indeed, <strong>barriers for a long time</strong> prevented me from doing <strong>the same things as during the trainings.</strong></p>

<h3><strong>The Year of Change</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Last year</strong> marked a big change. An unexpected encounter gave me <strong>the opportunity to be mentally followed.</strong></p>
<p>I realized my<strong> best season</strong>:</p>
<p>Several <strong>top 5</strong> on international races</p>
<p><strong>Victories</strong> in regional races</p>
<p>And especially I was not far from achieving something incredible: to rank among <strong>the world's top 35</strong> at the 2018 Olympic Games. Unfortunately, before going out 10 doors from the finish.</p>

<p><strong>The Year of the Last Chance</strong></p>
<p>That is why, after this incredible year, I wanted to start another year and give everything I can to have <strong>one last chance.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I have been financing my seasons</strong> for years with the help of a few partners, but it becomes <strong>very difficult for me to live if I do not work alongside.</strong></p>
<p>This explains this year of last chance, because if I do not manage to rank among the top 30 worldwide, it will be over for me.</p>
<p>Of course,<strong> I do not put pressure on myself </strong>and I intend to take advantage of each training and <strong>each competition to deliver 100%.</strong></p>
<p>I have nothing to lose :) but still.</p>

<h3><strong>My goals for this season are:</strong></h3>
<p><strong>The 2019 World Championships</strong> (enter the top 30). For a small team it would be huge, I could be noticed and live my passion.Several stages in World Cup.And of course international competitions.</p>

<h3><strong>That is why today I need you.</strong></h3>
<p>All this, you must know, at<strong> a cost</strong>. I have already <strong>stalled some training sites to reduce costs.</strong></p>
<p>However,<strong> if I want to show up on such events</strong>, and hope to compete at such a level, I have to train<strong> at the same level on this end of preparation</strong>. I must, at first, <strong>hope to introduce myself to it.</strong></p>
<p>Because to date, <strong>without budget, I stay at home.</strong></p>
