Zak Carrick-Smith adds third British EYOF skiing medal with Slalom bronze

Third place finish continues proud Olympic event record

17-year-old Zak Carrick-Smith banked Britain’s third snowsport medal of the 2025 European Youth Olympic Festival with Bronze in this morning’s Boys’ Slalom.

After twin Freddy’s GS Gold on Monday, Zak’s Bronze joins Sandra Caune’s Freeski Slopestyle Bronze to give Britain a third ski event medal of the Games and reaffirm the high levels of promise among Britain’s youth ranks.

Carrick-Smith’s podium was sealed with a total finishing time of 1:32.92s, just over a second behind Gold medal winner Storm Andre Hagen, and only twelve hundredths of a second shy of Luken Garitano Iturbe in the Silver medal position, and marks the Alpine protege’s fourth Olympic event medal, following the two Golds and a Silver won at the Gangwon Youth Olympic Winter Games in January 2024.
