[SUP]David Poisson finished seventh in the downhill at the 2010 Olympics
[/SUP]French skier David Poisson, who won a bronze medal in the downhill at the 2013 world championships, died in a training accident on Monday. He was 35.
The French skiing federation confirmed the news in a statement. “The federation, join the pain of his loved ones in these particularly difficult times,” it said.
Poisson died at the Nakiska ski resort west of Calgary, where he was preparing for the upcoming World Cup events in North America. The first event takes place this month at Alberta’s Lake Louise. His best finish at a World Cup event came in 2015 when he finished third at Santa Katerina in Italy.
