I watched the Ambition Children skiing GS yesterday on the 1st run and they are doing a good job on the whole, we have a long term approach at Ambition and the understanding and skiing has moved on massively since the new team got together in October. I thought you'd be interested in my notes - (i wish someone could plug into my brain to see what goes on, it doesn't stop thinking for a second, good and bad i guess.)

Izzy Taylor: great impression of her sister! 100% racing with no hesitation. Needs to use the outside ski!!!!!!

Lucy Kahve: Holding the turn too long, looks little worried still. Smooth skiing but needs more speed and aggression.

Oli Chalkley: some sweet turns, completely different to October, needs to be cleaner.

Aza: Finally!!!!! Carrying some speed, some rhythm, better!

Fin Davies: Moving well with tempo, line still off, needs more separation + line drills.

Beth Soman: Good movement, more angles needed. Better attacking skiing.

Luke Maynard: Going after it, little scrappy though. More technique work needed!

Luke Riddell: Laying it over - no power! More aggression needed. Good line.

Wheeler: Looks worried, grinding top of turn. Not racing yet.

Raposo: Great rhythm and movement. No power.

I had to shoot off and haven't seen the final results, i know Raposo won which is awesome for him and for Ambition - we are very proud of Charlie and having him with the team in Champoluc has been awesome as i know he has been missed hugely by everyone at Ambition.

Just heard from Charlie as i'm writing to say he won the Slalom too......... more on that later....!

Good job..... victory dance it is:
