Born in Annecy, Haute-Savoie, Clarey made his World Cup debut in November 2003 and has five World Cup podiums through January 2019.[2] He set a World Cup speed record in 2013 at the classic downhill race in Wengen, Switzerland, with a maximum speed of 161.9 km/h (100.6 mph) at the Haneggschuss, the fastest section of the Lauberhorn slope.[3][4] Clarey finished fifth and was injured the following week at Kitzbühel and missed the remainder of the 2013 season, including the world championships. In the winter of 2014/15, Clarey was in the top 10 three times in World Cup races and twice in the winter of 2015/16. He was again on the podium on January 21, 2017, as third place in Kitzbühel.[5] In January 2021, Clarey finished second in a downhill competition in Kitzbühel, thus becoming the oldest ever to make the podium in the Alpine World Cup.[6]
