Esteban Olivero Famille (Family): Dad Gilles Olivero And Mom
Esteban Olivero’s famille is currently mourning the loss of his life. Olivero’s family hasn’t given any statement regarding his demise.
The promising French trail racer Esteban always had the support of his father, Gilles Olivero. In an interview, the 16-year-old Esteban talked about his dad’s backing in his career.
Before forging his career in trail racing, Esteban was interested in mountain biking. But his father Gilles told him to switch to trail running.
At first, Gilles told Esteban to start cross country. When the interview was taken, Gilles worked as a PE teacher at Cabass College in Roquebrune-sur-Argens.
He said his son has good support, good endurance, and loves the mountains. Gilles added Esteban would make a good trailer when the distances lengthen and the elevation changes.
Gilles is available on Facebook but isn’t very active on social media. On his Facebook bio, Gilles has given a link to his YouTube channel, but he hasn’t shared any video since October 2022.
Esteban’s love for running stems from his dad, whose YouTube videos are filled with him traveling to various countries and hiking and running.
There’s not much information available about Esteban’s mom, and the trail runner hasn’t previously spoken much about his family.
