Ola Pedro Pierre Carmin, who passed away in October, will always remain one of the most charismatic and talented skiers and coaches in our sport. As a skier, the Frenchman will be remembered as a three-time European champion, the only person to do so in each event: 1986 trick, 1987 slalom, and 1988 jump. Let’s take a look back and remember his incredible achievements Pierre, at 17 years old, led the overall competition of the French championships in Saint Pardoux, ahead of Gilles Cambray, despite Cambray jumping two meters further to win the jump event. Pierre placed second in tricks behind Patrice Martin. In 1978, Pierre competed as a Junior in the European Championships, which took place in Jyvaskyla, Finland, a rough site dominated by rain and wind. Thanks to three bronze medals in all three events, and the top performance in the slalom finals with a score of 2@13m, Pierre won the overall title. Young, fearless, and confident, he finished his season perfectly by winning two medals during Open Europeans in Temple-sur-Lot.
