The mythical track of Chabrières of Vars, in the Hautes-Alpes allows kaëlists to realize exploits... As a proof, Jonathan Moret establishes at the dawn of his 40 years a new Swiss record at the World Speed Championships, with 250,8 km/h! The feat was achieved during the final of the Speed Masters, where the athlete took fourth place, but above all he beat his own record, which dated back to 2006. At that time, he ran down the track at 250.174 km/h. The news is all the more beautiful when one knows that the Chablaisian has just returned to competition this winter, since he had put away his skis more than 10 years ago. We felt that he was preparing for something big when he was on the podium of the World Cup race last January in Vars.
Between Jonathan Moret, Simone Origone and his 254,958 km/h and the Frenchman Simon Billy who broke the world record with a new mark of 255,500 km/h, we can say that speed skiing still has great days ahead.
