 Poster: A snowHead
|
These have been taking place in Meribel this week; Alcott got beaten by Louise Thomas in the Super-G and continued to cause a stir until she hit the nets in the Downhill.
I've just been looking at website and found links to these daily reports from the Championships;
Day 1 - The weather closes in
Day 2 - Alcott beaten.
Day 3 - Alcott wins but Ryding crashes
Day 4 - Alcott crashes out
Day 5 - Weather closes in again!
Day 6 - Alcott and Crawford win
Not sure where Day 7 is yet but I think from the Champs website at Alcott and Crawford are British Champions this year. 
Really good reports though and it seems to have been an exciting champs out in Meribel!

We put Day 7 report up last night with a brief look at the funding problems facing British Alpine ski racing. http://www.planetski.eu/news/1545
'Racer Ready' has been out there too, but otherwise pretty much zero coverage from other outlets.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

JAMES COVE, Great final report from Ben there. It's going to be a turbulent time I think as the Skiers and Snowboarders try and get funding secured.
Shame there has been so little coverage; I don't know what 'Racer Ready' have been doing but I expected to see more on the Skiclub about it and other ski websites but looks like PlanetSKI are the only ones covering - It was good coverage too - not just Press Release rubbish.
ps. Well done Ben in the Senior Slalom (as I see in Day 3)!.

Great reports from Ben covering the Senior Championships. Congratulations with your results in the racing too, Ben. It was shame much of the Junior Championship was canceled. I see from the FIS results he took the wise move to do the Belgium Championships in Val Thorens this week to make up for the cancelled stuff.
We've just got back from the Children's Championships in Meribel which took place last week. Was great to see everything going ahead despite all the trouble in the last few months surrounding British Skiing.
It will be interesting to see where British skiing is going now....
Does anyone know if the British team are heading south this summer?

FAQ
The Children's team are intending to head to Europe again this summer. Not sure about the older racers. I guess it's all down to costs unfortunately
