She was 16 years old when she competed at Pyeongchang, making her the youngest French National to win a Winter Olympic medal.[5] Julia finished her quarter-final in second place, behind Italian rider Michela Moioli in a premonition of the Big Final. Julia raced in the day's second semi-final and finished in third place behind her compatriot Chloé Trespeuch in second and Michela Moioli in first.
