Chloé Dufour-Lapointe's freestyle farewell


Listen Later

There’s a lot of talk about ‘Quiet Quitting’ these days… which is one luxury that athletes can seldom enjoy. For moguls skier Chloé Dufour-Lapointe, luckily, there was never any plan or desire to simply run down the clock.
Like her equally famous sisters, Chloé was determined to make every competition count. Easier said than done, when the pandemic years threw a clunky wrench in her plans. Her training was curtailed by covid restrictions, which led to a loss of competition points, and consequently, her funding dried up just before her fourth and final Olympics, Beijing 2022.
But Chloé makes a serious practise of positive thinking. Despite the disappointments, she built herself an amazingly durable shield of upbeat attitude, like-minded people, and unrelenting love of skiing.
So now, as a competitive career concludes at the ripe old age of 30- Chloé can look back with satisfaction in the knowledge that she ended her Olympic career doing what she has always done, trained hard, skied hard, and savoured the moment.
Not that Dufour-Lapointes are particularly big on dwelling in the past, but Canadians have been dazzled by the bump skiiers for nearly a dozen years. Justine and Chloe finished Gold and Silver at Sochi… and all three of them swept a world cup podium in 2016, which really is a once in a century sort of event.
Refreshingly- as she tells Anastasia …Chloé is not suffering terrible ‘what next?’ anxiety. She, Justine and Maxime have built a consistent brand, and the practical fashion side of their business will always be a special focus for Chloé.
