Some people like their downhill, some prefer slalom. \u00a0For others it’s ice skating or curling that makes them tune in.<\/p>\n

Skier Cross is the sport to watch at Sochi<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was the stand out event at Vancouver 2010, and although it now has competition from Slopestyle – now an Olympic sport for the first time – it’s still Skier Cross that gets our attention.<\/p>\n

If you’ve not come across the sport before then settle down for a white-knuckle ride and watch this video – head-to-head, first past the post, there’s no hiding place in this race!<\/p>\n

Emily Sarsfield leads the way for Britain<\/strong><\/p>\n

British interest may not last to the final, but Emily Sarsfield is Britain’s top ranked skier and stands a good chance of making it to the knock-out rounds (the fastest in a timed run qualify).<\/p>\n
