Mélanie Meillard (born 23 September 1998) is a Swiss World Cup alpine ski racer,[1] who specialises in the technical events of Slalom and Giant slalom. Meillard made her World Cup debut at age 17 in December 2015; her older brother Loïc is also a World Cup alpine racer.
In December 2019 and January 2020, Meillard attempted a comeback, but ended the season after three races without a countable result. She finally managed to return to the top of the world at the beginning of the 2020/21 season, when she finished ninth in the Levi slalom. At the end of the season, she was able to win the Swiss championship title in the slalom for the second time after 2017 at the end of March. In the giant slalom she finished in 3rd place.[2]
