[1] Together with his partner Christophe Espagnon, he was named one of the country's top sailors in the mixed multihull catamaran for the 2008 Summer Olympics, finishing in a distant eleventh position.

[2] Outside his Olympic career, he and Espagnon gave the home crowd a further reason to celebrate with a bronze-medal finish at the 2005 Tornado Worlds in La Rochelle.

[3] A member of the local sailing regatta club in his current hometown Annecy (French: Société des Régates à Voile d'Annecy), Revil trained most of his competitive sporting career under the tutelage of his personal coach Philippe Neiras.

Building up their Olympic selection, he and crew member Espagnon finished a credible sixth in the golden fleet phase to lock one of the eleven quota places offered at the 2007 ISAF Worlds in Cascais, Portugal.

[5] The French duo started the series with a fantastic top-four mark on the second race; however, a broken halyard lock before race 4 and a wave of unimpressive tenths towards the final stretch bumped Revil and Espagnon out of the medal hunt to eleventh overall by a slight margin, amassing 69 net points.
