255.5kph SPEED SKI WORLD RECORD 2023, Fastest non-motorised humans on the planet.
Simon Billy (FRA) beat the World Record on 22 March 2023 with a speed of 255.500kph (158.760mph). The previous record was held since 2016 by Ivan Origone (ITA) at a speed of 254.958kph (158.424 mph). His brother, Simone Origone, had held 3 world records since 2006. The women's record is 247.038kph (153,502mph), held by Valentina Greggio (ITA) since 2016.
First hand, racing in Vars, the mecca of speed, Simon and I tell you about the new World Record broken by him.
I could not miss the opportunity to be present at such an important moment in the history of Speed ​​Ski. Simon Billy's record is the reward for many years of work and I couldn't be more proud of him.
He came back, stronger, after a brutal crash in 2017. You can see it on my channel.
Skiing over 200 kilometres per hour is something reserved for few: there are more people that have gone to space than skiers in the 200kph club.
Thanks to Vars (© AIR LIBRE PROD) and Louis Billy for their images. First few seconds of intro action shots from Grandvalira. Rest of footage shot in 2023 in Vars, March 2023, during our World Championships and World Cup finals.

    From a quick google search: *In a stable, belly-to-earth position, terminal velocity of the human body is about 200 km/h (about 120mph). A stable, freefly, head-down position produces a speed of around 240-290 km/h (around 150-180 mph).* So he reached around the head down freefall speed on skis...

      Try skiing without poles; it’s very awkward. Besides the fact that poles are used to pole plant and signal beginning of turns in regular skiing, they do play a role in balance and stability. It’s a strange thing as one wouldn’t think they make that much difference, but they do. When I was a coach and had to ski without poles (carrying gates and drills, etc.), I just couldn’t ski the same. 🤷🏻‍♀️ -former ski racer
