Julia raced in the day's second semi-final and finished in third place behind her compatriot Chloé Trespeuch in second and Michela Moioli in first.
The track at Phoenix Park is 1300m long, and for almost a kilometre of the Big Final, Julia was in 4th position, but in the final few hundred meters, she found a racing line that saw her pass everyone but Moioli to finish second and win Olympic silver.
Alongside her life as a professional snowboard cross athlete, Julia is in full-time education. "Currently, I am studying at the Lycée Of Albertville in Savoie, where I will sit my Baccalauréat of French next month and where I train physically every day. I’ve already started my preparation for next winter." Julia said.{{Cite web|url=https://iceatrail.com/julia-pereira/|title=Julia Pereira snowboard cross star shares the secrets of her success|language=en-US|access-date=9 June 2019}}
