PG, great stuff, keep those reports coming in. I coached Jo and Dave Ryding occasionally when I ran camps at Rossendale a few years ago. Nice, talented kids - good luck to them and hope Jo's knee recovers soon. How did Chemmy break the thumb? Presumably on a gate?

Wax room chat from Meribel - by our man on the spot, racerready
- Snowsport GB opened up their Tent on Tuesday morning and trade was reported as brisk despite the weather conditions! A full range of the products now available from Snowsport GB is on the web site at www.snowsportgb.com. Audi, DirectSki, City Link, VIST also have tents at the event.
- Andy Noble took attending the Championships to extremes as he arrived at the last minute along with a number of the Home Nations Development Squad from Innerkrems — an eight hour drive! This after having finished 2nd in the Croatian National Championships Giant Slalom.
- Just to prove the conditions were unskiable, Racer Ready has managed to obtain pictures of the jury inspection, with Ronnie Naismith checking out the conditions . See photo in this report...

marc gledhill, Has he been skiing at Castleford ?
I will be in Meribel that week, PM me the name and I will watch out for him.

rjs, I don't think so, as far as I know he hasn't skied for a club over here at all. I think he's skied with the local club in Meiringen though.
I'll offer him lifts over on Monday nights though. I've PM'd you his details.

PG, sounds good ... just look for the boy who's lost/damaged/irretrievably broken his skis/poles/gloves/goggles/helmet [substitute other vital equipment as appropriate] but still has a big grin on his face at the bottom!

Thursday's Wax room chat from Meribel...
- The voice of the British Championships, Fiona McNeilly was strangely silent for the Giant Slalom first run with a mysterious bug having caused her to miss the race — 'vodkaitus' being blamed. Fiona did manage to make the second run and normal service was resumed!
- The early mornings seem to have taken their toll on leading English team racer, Tania Scilimati, as she could not find this year's race suit first thing and had to resort to her suit from last year
- For the first time in a number of years, racers have been drug tested at Meribel....

There were a lot of falls in the dual slalom, it's lucky there were no more injuries.
The coaches were telling their racers to back off in the later rounds.
