In line with our values of sharing performance and team spirit, Prolutech has been supporting a group of young athletes and associations for several years.
Whether they are beginners or high-level athletes, sometimes even disabled, small local associations or larger national ones, we share a common interest in all our partners.
We are proud to support these promising young champions on their way to the Olympics, and these associations who work tirelessly to promote their actions.
Among them, we are delighted to present the profiles of :
A young biathlete from Haute-Savoie, Sophie is a member of the French biathlon team. It was with the very best that Sophie distinguished herself last season in the Biathlon World Cup. We experienced some great sensations in Le Grand Bornand, with her 4th place in the 7.5 km sprint. This year, she even became world relay champion in Nove Mesto. Thank you for all these great emotions , Sophie, and we look forward to her next season ! In the meantime, check out our video of her on skis in full training, illuminated and accompanied by Prolutech.
Jordan is a young disabled skier who we've been supporting for several years now. Over the years, his career and achievements have gone stronger and stronger.
Passionate skier from an early age, he is originally from Gruffy, a small village in Haute-Savoie region in France. In May 2009, he was involved in a motorcycle accident that resulted in the amputation of his left leg and the severing of two motor nerves in his left shoulder. His only motivation when he woke up was to get back on the ski slopes, a wish he fulfilled the following winter thanks to an adaptated temporary prosthesis. He joined the French Paralympic Team and took part in the 2018 Paralympic Games of Pyeongchang and the 2022 Paralympic Games in Beijing. This year was an exceptional one for Jordan, with a first World Cup podium and a runner-up World Championship title in the standing Para alpine ski in slalom category ! What a super season for him.
Océane Michelon is a very promising French biathlete from Savoie (France). She is already French junior champion in 2020. Since then, Océane has been pulling out all the stops and aim to climb the ladder to the top of the world circuit in her category. She also finished 10th in the women's pursuit at the World Youth Championship in the 2020/2021 season. Prolutech is proud to sponsor a future champion of the French biathlon. Don't hesitate to follow her adventure.
After some very convincing results over the seasons, this young regional hope in cyclo-cross and mountain biking is racking up a string of fine victories. Very promising results! 3rd overall and 1st senior in the 2021 Vauban raid, he's hoping to grab a few more places this year. For him, 2022 meant: 83rd overall in the Marathon World Cup; 23 days of racing; 4 different countries; 9 000 km of cycling; 191,632 meters of climbing; 398 hours in the saddle; 203 bike rides. Prolutech is proud to renew its commitment to Alexandre once again this year.
Thomas is a young athlete who loves racket sports ! He has joined the French para sport badminton team, and has already won the French doubles title with his team-mate. Only four years of practice at the Annecy Badminton club and he's titillating the highest levels! Thomas has joined the French squad for the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo, and has taken part in no fewer than 14 competitions around the world! This year will be decisive as he is participating in the 2024 Paralympic games in Paris. His gold medal at the French championships and his excellent results are assets for his success.

For over 10 years, Prolutech has been supporting the association La Sapaudia.
La Sapaudia is an association set up in 2009 in Albertville, Savoie, France with the aim of encouraging people to register on the bone marrow donation "lifewatchers" register, and promoting the acceptance and integration of disability in all its forms.
To this end, Sapaudia organizes physical and sporting events throughout France. Every year, they organize a cycling challenge in June, with around 150 participants, including many tandems to enable people with disabilities to take part in this wonderful human adventure. Our contribution : Lighting and securing the route at night with our mobile vehicle-mounted lighting balloons and LED safety vests. In addition, to these sporting events, La Sapaudia has organized more than 260 awareness-raising events in high schools and companies, as well as numerous blood drives throughout the year. Well done to them!
