French skier David Poisson, who won a bronze medal in the downhill at the 2013 world championships, died in a training accident on Monday. The French skiing federation confirmed the news in a statement. Poisson died at the Nakiska ski resort west of Calgary, where he was preparing for the upcoming World Cup events in North America. His best finish at a World Cup event came in 2015 when he finished third at Santa Katerina in Italy. World Super G champion Regine Cavagnoud was killed in a collision while training in 2001.
