Marie Hoyau is a French ski jumper.

Sports career

In 2012, Hoyau won her first gold medal at a national competition in Les Tuffes.
On the small ski jump Le Grépon in Chamonix she set the women’s record on 20 January 2013.
From 2012/13 on, Hoyau also takes part in international FIS competitions. At the European Youth Olympic Festival in Romania she placed 6th, at the two Alpen Cup events in Einsiedeln and Ziri she achieved mid-table positions.
At the FIS Cup competition in Villach, which like all FIS Cups was not restricted to junior ski jumpers, Hoyau placed 27th.
The Summer Grand Prix in Courchevel was the first international elite competition for which she was nominated by the French Ski Association FFS as the new talent side by side with the French jumpers Léa Lemare, Coline Mattel and Julia Clair. So at the age of barely 16 she could beat several international professional jumpers and placed 34th.
Hoyau represents her hometown's Ski Club St. Gervais. Her coach is Thierry Revillod.
