Endeavour and excellence on show at Alpine Champs Children’s Week
Next generation of British Alpine talent comes to the fore in Tignes
The GB Alpine Championships 2024 Children’s Week brought some of the nation’s most exciting young Alpine talent together in Tignes for a week where endeavour and excellence were on clear display.
Despite occasionally challenging weather conditions, Children’s Week saw the majority of races successfully run, with U16, U14, U12, and U10 talent all demonstrating their skill, commitment, and racing instincts to deliver a number of outstanding competitions across the week.
In the U10 and U12 categories, Leah McKennell (U10 Girls), Frey Diesen (U10 Boys), Isabelle Bradley (U12 Girls), and Zachary Nachkov (U12 Boys) took Combined titles, while the U14 and U16 Combined victories went to Zali Rearick (U14 Girls), Rufus Wontner (U14 Boys), Lucy Howeson (U16 Girls), and Hamish Blyth (U16 Boys). Blyth was also named recipient of the Cairngorm Quaich, a new trophy presented this year by Alain Baxter for international achievements of a U14 or U16 athlete selected to the British Children’s Ski Team.
Team Prizes, meanwhile, went to CDC (Best Named Club Team Girls U14), Ambition Racing (Best Named Club Team Girls U16), and Apex (Best Named Club Team Boys U14, Best Named Club Team Boys U16, and Overall Children’s Best Club Team).
The Championships were generously supported by host resort, Tignes, and by Fusalp, Ski Exchange, Minerva’s Virtual Academy, and Everything Branded.
