Disappointment for Mickel

Unfortunately, leading British downhiller, Finlay Mickel, injured himself while racing in St Moritz last weekend. This is a bitter blow to Finlay, whose place on Team GB had been secured with a number of promising Europa Cup results and his first impression on the World Cup rankings this year with a 25th place in Val d¹Isere.
