More ski success for Emerson
Emerson P recently competed in the English Alpine Championships in Bormio, Italy and secured his position as one of the top U14 skiers in Great Britain with two silver medals in the speed disciplines of Super G and Giant Slalom. These championships attract the best skiers in Great Britain and the U14 boys was a highly competitive field of 72 skiers.
His first success came in the Super G event, which took place on the World Cup piste, which will be used for the Downhill event in the Winter Olympics in 2026. Emerson took this opportunity to ski this steep, icy and technically difficult course with a combination of aggression and technical skill and crossed the line in second position and his first medal of the championships.
Next up was the Giant Slalom and Emerson performed exceptionally well on the first run to record the fastest time of the day and put him in the lead. One of the last skiers to go on run two he put in a solid run to narrowly miss the win but a fantastic 2nd place.
As a result of his performances in Bormio, Emerson has been selected for his second GB Children’s International race and will compete in the Barcelonnette International Races in France at the end of March.
