There were more great results for Team GB at the Freestyle Ski and Snowboard World Championships in Sierra Nevada last week.
James ‘Woodsy’ Woods – on a roll after his medal’s the US and European X Games – and Isabel Atkin both claimed bronze medals in the Ski Slopestyle finals.
Bronze for Woodsy
Woodsy lay in first place after a superb second run scoring 90.40, but was out-scored by American McRae Williams and Gus Kenworthy who took silver.
In the women’s Ski Slopestyle, 19 year old Isabel Atkin put down a fantastic third run to climb up the rankings and take bronze behind French skier Tess Ledeux in the gold medal position and Swede Emma Dahlstrom who claimed silver.

6th for Rowan Cheshire
On Friday evening, Rowan Cheshire showed that she is back to being one of the world’s best female Half Pipe skiers as she finished sixth overall in the World Championships.
After qualifying for the final, Cheshire showed that she is back at a level where she can challenge again for world-class podiums.
We spoke to Cheshire at the London Ski Show in October, where she revealed that her favourite ski resort is Whistler Blackcomb.
Another top 10 for Ryding
Dave Ryding pulled out a remarkable second run in the World Cup Finals in Aspen, moving up 12 places in the second run to finish eighth overall.
In what has been an amazing season for Ryding, yesterday’s result meant he will finish the season ranked 8th overall in the world standings for Slalom.
British Telemark podium for Taylor
Another Brit enjoying a phenomenal season is Jasmin Taylor, who took another podium when she finished 3rd in the Classic race at the Telemark World Championships in La Plagne.
She was also 5th in the Parallel Sprint and 10th in the Sprint yesterday. Taylor’s team mate Naila Cardwell finished 9th in the Parallel Sprint, 17th in the Classic and 16th in the Sprint.

The Chaletline team wish all of our athletes all the best in their continued competition and training.
Based on the results from this season, it certainly looks very positive for next year’s Winter Olympics in South Korea!
