She is only 22 years old.
However, she has already won everything in her discipline.
By winning on Monday March 8 the title of world champion in mogul skiing, the French Perrine Laffont won the last major title which was still missing from her record.
Since 2017, Perrine Laffont has stacked the titles at breakneck speed: gold medal in parallel (2017), Olympic champion in Pyeongchang (2018), two big globes in the World Cup (2019 and 2020) and now the title of champion of the mogul ski world.
The only medal that was missing from his prize list!

Kazakh Pavel Kolmakov climbed to the third step of the podium.
