Congratulations to Alex (age 12) for winning gold in the Under 14 combined slalom, giant slalom non FIS category – despite his competition being much bigger, stronger and undoubtedly more experienced (he is holding the cup in the photo). Alex trained on the Tignes glacier in the summer and autumn then on the Bonnevie Grandstade in Val d’Isère in January for a few days in preparation for this race… (Apparenty Alex is now attempting to explain dynamics and Centre of Mass to the other boys – great!)
