Katie Ormerod named BEAA Athletes’ Athletes of the Month

Freestyle Snowboarder recognised following comeback from injury

Katie Ormerod has been named British Elite Athletes Association Athletes’ Athlete of the Month for January 2024, following her return to competition at the Laax Open World Cup.

The Award, which is voted for by athletes from across Britain’s elite sport community, recognises the efforts made by Ormerod in her recovery from serious injury and on-going infections, which she detailed in an exclusive interview with GB Snowsport last month.

Speaking to the BEAA after being named winner, Katie said:

“It means so much after going through everything wth my bone infection, to getting back to competing, and then knowing that my fellow athletes have voted for me means a lot. I know probably a lot of them have been in similar situations.

“We all understand how it is, so to be acknowledged for finally getting back to competing again feels amazing.”
