The white stuff: Chemmy Alcott is currently Britain’s only top level female skier

Video: Skiing: Chemmy Alcott’s 2009/2010 World Cup Preview

23 Oct 2009


The Alpine skiing World Cup season gets underway this weekend in Soelden Austria, and with the Winter Olympics just a few months away, it may prove to be an early indication of who will be challenging for the medals in Vancouver in February.

27 year old Chemmy Alcott is currently Britain's only female skiing at World Cup level, and after a tough 2008/2009 she is hoping for bigger things this season. Alcott finished 10th in the opening race last year. However she broke her ankle during training for the next race in Canada resulting in three months on the sidelines.

In this video Chemmy reveals how pre-season training has been going, talks about her injuries, her World Cup ambitions and her Winter Olympic hopes.
