Perrine Laffont: "I love my life and I won't change it for the world"

Perrine, how do you feel when you start a new season, Olympic moreover?

I'm fine.

I lived my end of preparation quietly and I still feel the same excitement when entering a new season.

Is the excitement the same as it was four years ago, before the Pyeongchang Games?

(Hesitates) It's hard to say… I would say it's a different excitement than it was four years ago.

At the time, I did not have the same status.

Today, I am excited, but also much more serene.

I am not here to say to myself: "Oulala there are the Games in two months!"

(smile) I'm not counting the days that separate me from Beijing and I put a lot more perspective than before Pyeongchang.

I am much cooler.

Your status as Olympic champion does not add pressure to you, but on the contrary takes it off?

I think there is above all more pressure around me, especially from the media.
