The Road to Milano-Cortina ‘26

[Grassmarket 4,274]

Let's hope the Slalom in Levi is an omen for the season

 

4th Laurie Taylor

7th Dave Ryding

27th Billy Major

 

And with Team Mouat very solidly in the position of World Number 1 in Curling, and a Figure Skating Grand Prix win for Fear & Gibson it has been an excellent pre-season.

Men take bronze in the Euro Curling - bit disappointing as they managed their worst performance of the season for the semi.

 

Women take the silver, which was a huge bonus.  They're still a bit flaky, but capable of greatness.

 

And a GOLD in the Ski Big Air in China for Kirsty Muir.  She was a great teenager but had lost form following injury.  So another big prospect for the Olympics!

With Olympic silver medalist Tess Ledeux and 2025 World Champ Flora Tabanelli both still recovering from injury, Kirsty honestly has a genuine medal chance in Milan in the Big Air.

Another British Gold - Mia Brookes in the Snowboard Big Air in Beijing.

 Figure Skating team named.  Representation in all events, which I don't believe we have had for a whilr.

Matt Weston takes Gold again in Lillehammer with Marcus Wyatt 7th & Jacob Salisbury 14th.

Good result for the  Women's Cross Country Sprint team - finished 17th in Qualifying, so not into the final, but beat very credible teams like Australia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Estonia....will be very good for our Olympic Qual chances.

Skelton continues to impress - Silver for Tabitha Stoecker in the Women - again with a great drive - and Gold once more in the Team.
