A brililiant performance for this increasingly successfull alpine squad of Sean Rose, Russell Docker, Talan Skeels-Piggins, Tim Farr, Jane Sowerby, Anna Tunrey and Kelly Gallagher with guide CLaire Robb - all representing Paralympics TeamGB  in a gruelling week of hard racing in all the Alpine disciplines and take place within the Whistler venue of Creekside.

 

After Aspen results GB sits 14th in World Cup Nations standings...

 

Following some excellent results by Rose and Docker in the final World Cup races of the season, Great Britain climbed up a further two places in the Nation's rankings to 14th. With only two contributing world cup athletes this season, this has been a magnificent achievement.

 

Individually, Rose has confirmed his status as one of the worlds top adaptive racers achieving overall World Cup 3rd in the points standing for Downhill and 11th across the total combined world cup point standings.

 

Congratulations to Sean, Russell and the rest of the GB squad (Talan, Tim, Jane, Anna and Kelly plus guide Claire) as we enter the greatest and most successful period of British Adaptive skiing in many years - Good Luck to all seven members of the Alpine squad and their GB colleagues within the curling team of Paralympics TeamGB for Vancouver.
