    Justine Mettraux, the Swiss sailor charting her course to excellence!

    At 16, Justine joined the Centre d’Entraînement à la Régate in Geneva, where she honed her competitive spirit by taking part in several Tour de France à la Voile races.

    After 10 years with the CER, Justine spent two years sailing on LadyCat, the D35 skippered by Dona Bertarelli, while using the winters to embark on long-distance sailing adventures across the globe.

    She then took the plunge into solo ocean racing, competing in the 2013 Mini Transat with TeamWork. She finished second overall in the series ranking, becoming the first woman ever to reach the podium in this category!

    In 2014-2015, Justine participated in the Volvo Ocean Race as part of Team SCA, an all-female crew skippered by Sam Davies, which finished 6th in the race. She then embarked on a Figaro project, competing in four editions of La Solitaire du Figaro, always under TeamWork’s colors. In 2017, she achieved her best result, finishing 7th overall.

    In the meantime, she continued to gain experience: competing in the Transat Jacques Vabre alongside Bertrand Delesne in Class40, and participating in several legs of the 2017-2018 Volvo Ocean Race with Dongfeng, which went on to win that edition.

    At the end of 2020, Justine joined the American IMOCA team 11th Hour Racing Team, preparing for The Ocean Race 2023. With them, she competed in The Ocean Race Europe, the 2021 Transat Jacques Vabre alongside Simon Fisher, and gained extensive experience sailing foiling IMOCA yachts.

    In summer 2022, TeamWork announced the acquisition of Charal 1 to support Justine on her journey to the 2024 Vendée Globe. After securing seventh place in the Route du Rhum, Justine joined the crew for the round-the-world race with stopovers.

    Justine participated in several legs alongside the 11th Hour Racing Team, whose IMOCA, skippered by Charlie Enright, went on to win The Ocean Race.

    In March 2024, Justine announced a new partnership with Groupe SNEF. Her IMOCA was rebranded as TeamWork – Team SNEF, with her sights set on the Vendée Globe, where the Swiss sailor achieved an 8th place finish.

    MATHIEU REBEAUD’S KEYNOTES in DUBAI and ABU DHABI

    Conférences de Mat Rebeaud champion suisse de motocross freestyle sur les thèmes de l'économie, le futur, la prospective, par UnoMe le Swiss Speakers' Bureau

    Mat (Mathieu) Rebeaud was born in Payerne in Western Switzerland in 1982. Son of motocross rider Antoine Rebeaud and grandson of Frédéric Rebeaud, Mat was destined to follow in their footsteps, representing the family’s third generation of off-road enthusiasts.

    Mat was given his first bike at the tender age of four, when he immediately took to the track, and was soon to compete in races at both, regional and national level in the 80cc and 125cc categories. He would undoubtedly have pursued this clearly marked path, had a major event not sown a seed in his mind: the FFX or, more precisely, freestyle motocross, a spectacular discipline that made its first official appearance at the Summer X Games in 1999.

    Mat then spent some time alternating between motocross events and freestyle shows orcompetitions, his father insisting that he continue to practise an « acceptable » sport in the form of motocross racing.

    Having worked on his jumps and tricks from a very young age, Mat’s airborne featsproved to be his greatest talent, and he finally abandoned the track for freestyle motocross in 2005 after winning the « Night of the jumps »competition.

    The only time Mat now touches the ground is to pick up speed before flying into the air.And although his backflip combos and underflips (all inventions of his own imagination) are the best in the world of freestyle motocross, he is constantly rehearsing new, never-seen-before moves in his own back yard.

    No other sport has pushed Mat to his limits as quickly as freestyle motocross. His contribution to the discipline has been tremendous and he is still going all out to drive it forward. « Playing with bikes is all I want to do, » he says.
