Candide Conquers All
Candide Conquers All
In an era when the infant sport of freeskiing was largely driven by north Americans, one bold Frenchman stood out from the crowd.
Like a latter-day Napoleon Candide Thovex regularly beat the yankees and canucks in their own back yard and went on to completely dominate the sport for a period, as untouchable in battle as Bonaparte himself.
This 2007 run, taken from the days of his high-imperial pomp (a period when helmets weren’t compulsory) earned him 95/100 and the gold medal. Comment aimez-vous ces oignons you feelthy Americains?!?
