She competed in the normal hill event at the 2022 Winter Olympics, and came third at a 2021–22 FIS Ski Jumping World Cup event in Aigner-Schanze.

Career[]

In 2016, Pagnier jumped over 100 metres (330 ft) for the first time in her career, during a junior event at Fichtelbergschanzen, Germany. She was aged 14 at the time.[2] She won the two 2016–17 FIS Ski Jumping Continental Cup events in Notodden, Norway.[3] She made her FIS Ski Jumping World Cup debut in 2017 in Hinterzarten, Germany.[4] She was part of the French team that won the ladies' team event at the 2018 Nordic Junior World Ski Championships.[5] Pagnier won the French National Ski Jumping Championships in 2019 and 2020.[6] She was promoted to the French senior team ahead of the 2019–20 season;[7] she was the only French female ski jumper added to the senior team that season.[8]

At the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics, Pagnier won a silver in the girls' individual event and a bronze medal in the mixed team event.[1][9] She also competed in the ski jumping part of the mixed team Nordic Combined event, where France finished fourth.[10] At the 2021 Nordic Junior World Ski Championships, Pagnier came second in the girl's individual event.[11] At the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2021, Pagnier came 16th in the women's individual event.[1] She won one 2021–22 FIS Cup summer event in Gérardmer, France,[12] and finished third in another.[13] She came fourth at one 2021–22 FIS Ski Jumping World Cup event in Willingen, Germany,[14][15] and sixth in another event at the same venue.[16]

Pagnier qualified to compete in the normal hill event at the 2022 Winter Olympics.[9] A few days prior to the Games, she finished fourth in a World Cup event.[17] At the Games, Pagnier finished seventh overall in the first round, and finished 11th after the second and final round.[18] She was unable to compete in the mixed team event at the Games, as there were too few French athletes to compete with.[16] After the Games, Pagnier was described as the future of French ski jumping.[17]

Pagnier finished third in a normal hill event at the 2021–22 FIS Ski Jumping World Cup meeting in Aigner-Schanze.[19]
