I would to thank Claire, Jim & Rupert for posting the links & info
on the exploits of the GB Junior Squad in Europe over the last few
weeks.

The results from the younger juniors at the Austrian Champs were
amazing. It is not often that a "no-snow" can go & take medals from
a ski nation.

Then this past week 8 British juniors have been competing at the
World Junior Championships in Malles, Italy. These athletes have had
to cope with delay & change of venue & then the unexpected problem
of coping with skiing at altitude. The standard of competition is
very high for example Theresa Johaug bronze medal winner from last
years senior World Champs was racing. We should be proud of the way
our young skiers have risen to the challenge. And most will have
have a couple more years in the junior category.

When Head Coach, Roy Young, gets home he will update his website
with a summary of results of all British skiers in international
races which save you the trouble of hunted around the internet:
