Skiers hampered by ... snow - but Yasmin's not fazed
High winds and heavy snow challenged many athletes on day four of the English Alpine Championships, hosted by Snowsport England in Bormio, Italy, where excellent performances from Chichester's Yasmin Cooper saw her finish in first place.
The championships saw a host of excellent athletes tackle the 235m-steep pistes in the 16th annual race.
British Ski Academy racer Cooper, 13, achieved a time of 47.97 and said: “It feels really good. The course felt really smooth and I’m really pleased but really tired now.”
