Erzurum 2017 European Youth Olympic Winter Festival

At the Erzurum 2017 European Youth Olympic Winter Festival, Snowboard Cross athlete Ellie Soutter won Team GB’s first medal of the event, claiming a Bronze medal on Wednesday. Teammate Maisie Hill finished just behind her in 5^th overall after winning the B final.  

“I don’t think it’s quite sunk in yet,” said Soutter, “I’m a little bit emotional. I cried as I crossed the line. I was just so emotional as it hasn’t been the best season for me and it’s finally on the way up.”

In the Alpine races, Angus Wills clocked the best of the Alpine results so far, finishing 9^th in the Boys GS. In the Girls GS Abi Bruce finished in 26^th and Olivia Ward just behind her in 28^th, unfortunately Alicja Krahelski DNF’d in the first run. Krahelski put this behind her and in the Slalom finished an excellent 16^thplace with Abi Bruce in 23^rd and Olivia Ward in 28^th. Yesterday in the Boy’s Slalom Ryan Brown finished in 17^th place after the two runs whilst Angus Wills did not race. Today rounds off the Alpine competition in Erzurum with the Team Parallel Slalom. Great Britain made it through to the quarter finals, but were then unfortunately knocked out by Russia.
