Born on October 4, 1989, in Annemasse, Haute-Savoie, France, Tessa Worley’s early life was immersed in skiing. With both her Australian father, Steve, and French mother, Madeleine, working as ski instructors, she spent her childhood years between Le Grand Bornand in France and Mt Lyford Ski Area on New Zealand’s South Island. Worley learned to ski as a toddler and participated in her first race at age five. By the mid-1990s, her family settled in Le Grand Bornand, where she joined the local ski club, commencing her path into competitive alpine skiing.
Worley’s professional career began early, making her FIS World Cup debut in February 2006 at just 16 years old. She secured her first World Cup points by finishing 29th in a giant slalom event in Ofterschwang, Germany. Her talent for giant slalom quickly became apparent, earning her the nickname “La Puce” (The Flea) due to her agility and explosive style. In October 2008, she achieved a breakthrough fifth-place finish in Sölden, Austria, followed by her maiden World Cup victory in the giant slalom in Aspen, USA, a month later. By 2009, at 19, she competed in her first FIS World Championship in Val d’Isère, placing seventh in the giant slalom.
Over her career, Worley has consistently ranked among the top in her discipline. She earned her first World Championship medal, a team event gold, in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, in 2011, and a bronze in giant slalom. She claimed her first individual World Championship gold in giant slalom in Schladming, Austria, in 2013. Despite suffering a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury in December 2013 that forced her to miss the Sochi 2014 Olympics, Worley made a strong comeback. In the 2016/17 season, she secured four World Cup giant slalom victories and two third-place finishes, reclaiming her position as world No. 1 in her discipline. At the 2017 World Championships in St. Moritz, she won another team event gold and successfully defended her giant slalom title, earning her fourth world championship gold medal. That winter, she also secured her first small crystal globe in giant slalom, cementing her legacy as one of France’s most successful giant slalom skiers.
