British Selection Race 1 - Winterberg 2007


I won! Great start to this seasons campaign in a very close race. All through training the top 5 World Cup qualified athletes had been battling it out, in the knowledge that first across the line win the 3 spots available on the World Tour! Anyone could have taken first place, and next weeks race in Cesana, Italy looks to be another hotly contested affair, where the results will be added to todays results to decide the overall British rankings for the 2007/8 season!
On another note: as I'm holistically trying to assess the ecological impact of my participation in Skeleton throughout my sporting career, I'd like to nominate a word to our team kit sponsors Adidas, who's link to their Environment and Sustainability policies I have provided in the links on the right. I feel they take consideration of environmental issues seriously and are at least thinking about it and looking for solutions. I think they will respond to what I feel is a growing market for sustainably produced 'greener' products! As I progress towards podium finishes on a World level, I may, as a professional athlete, be able in some capacity to influence these policies in an even more positive direction?!
