At age 31, Crétier won the gold medal in the downhill at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano. He was the fourth Frenchman to win the Olympic downhill, but the first in thirty years, since Jean-Claude Killy in 1968.
It was the only victory of Crétier's international career; however, he achieved five World Cup podium finishes, three in the two months prior to his Olympic title.
Crétier finished fourth in the combined event at the 1992 Winter Olympics in his hometown of Albertville.[1] His final World Cup race was just ten months after Nagano; he incurred a career-ending knee injury at Val Gardena in December 1998.[2]
