Twins of the French skiing. They were both equally matched at the World Cup, but the 1970 World Championships in Valgardena, in which Ingrid obtained the gold medal in the slalom and silver in the giant, signed the big difference between the two. At the World Cup Ingrid won six slalom and one giant, she closed the results in the third posititon in 1969 and came first in the slalom in 1970; Brigitte, who was called "Britt" won five slalom and two giants and followed her sister at the top of the slalom results in 1971. Well, from the first victory that Ingrid obtained in the slalom in 1969 in St. Gervais until Britt's last victory in the giant in 1972 in Pra, together the two sisters made a good haul.
