Born on 24 April 1981 in Annecy and resident in Praz-sur-arly, Haute-Savoie department, Thomas Fanara, almost exclusively gigantist, made his debut on 11 January 2015 in Adelboden. He placed 46 times in the top ten, including 14 podiums from 2010 to this season, in which they were (for now) three: a victory on March 19, 2016 in St. Moritz to lead a historic French hat-trick with Alexis Pinturault second and Mathieu Faivre third, four seconds and nine third places. It was five times in the top ten with the best result a fourth place in 2014, which today could equal.
He participated in six world championships from 2007 to 2019 (he missed only that of 2017 due to a serious injury to his right knee in Aspen), the best result was a sixth place in 2011, and the last three Olympics, last year was fifth at PyeongChang 2018. A great athlete who has improved over time without ever losing his confidence enough to win the first podium at almost 30 years and the first and only victory to almost 35. Good life, Thomas!
