Canadian alpine skier (born 1996)
Valérie Grenier (born October 30, 1996)[1] is a Canadian World Cup alpine ski racer. She started skiing in all disciplines and later specialized in giant slalom and super-G, with some occasional starts in downhill.
From St. Isidore, Ontario, between Ottawa and Montreal, Grenier has competed at five World Championships[2] and two Winter Olympics. At the Junior World Championships in 2016, she won the gold medal in downhill and took silver in the super-G. In January 2022, she was named to Canada's 2022 Olympic team.[3][4]
Grenier attained her first World Cup podium in 2023, a victory on January 7 at a giant slalom in Kranjska Gora, posting the best result in both runs. It was the first World Cup GS win by a Canadian in 49 years, since Kathy Kreiner won in early 1974 at Pfronten, West Germany.[5] A year later, she defended the Golden Fox title, winning at the same venue once again.
