 Poster: A snowHead

Yep, you heard it here first folks - unless you're on Facebook and have added Chemmy as a friend, anyway. And don't panic, the lovely snowhead Miss Alcott has not given up entirely, but has decided to retire from slalom in order to concentrate on the remaining disciplines...

GOODBYE SLALOM! I have officially retired from Slalom. I love it i just dont have the time to train enough to win. By sacrificing the chance of a mere few world cup points it will give my body enough time to rest and focus on world domination of giant slalom, SG, DH and the combined.

I'm sure all snowheads will join me in wishing Chemmy good luck for the coming season - don't forget, you can help Chemmy by donating via this thread

I'm not on Facebook and don't have any friends, so thanks very much to nbt for that information.
Ski racers never retire, by the way, they just go on turning ... even in their graves.
Amazing to see that video of Peter Lunn, son of Sir Arnold Lunn and former British ski racer, still turning in Murren at the age of 95. Best of luck to the 28-year-old Chemmy, less than a third of his years, with a great deal of mileage ahead.

Thats unfortunate and most have been a hard decsion, wonder how much thats down to having no decent funding... surely this would have a knock on effect on here excellent combined form?

papasmurf, Chemmy never did many Slalom races in a season anyhow. She will still be doing a lot of Slalom training for her combined events to keep her world rankings up. She will be racing slalom at the British champs in Meribel next week though.

Shimmy Alcott, do you have any friends in common? I know a couple of people who were "facebook friends" with Chemmy, hence when facebook suggested I add her as a friend, well, it felt rude not to, you understand 
Alain Baxter and Graham Bell haven't accepted my friend requests, they've obviously heard about Mrs NBT's fondness for succesful british skiiers - although Martin "snowhead" Bell has.

Blimey, I've always thought Facebook was weird.
