 Seven
year old star
This years Natives Award for Most Promising Young Racer
has been won by seven year old Flora Peel from Gloucester Ski Club.
Flora, who only started racing in 2003, has taken to the sport incredibly
naturally. When you combine this with her dedication to training,
the coaches at Gloucester believe that Flora could be one of the
stars of the future.
Racing in the Summer
Race League for the first time last year, she dominated her age
group, and placed higher than many people twice her age. This year
we hope to see Flora racing against Britain’s best in national races,
and competing on snow at the English Championships in Puy-St-Vincent.
 Flora
is just one of several very young racers from Gloucester making
their mark on the national scene. Last years award winner, Tom Walsh
(now aged 10), has continued to improve and was on the podium at
several Club National and Celtic Cup races over the summer. Tom
will be training with the British Ski Academy over the coming months,
and is currently lying third overall in Gloucester
Ski Clubs interclub race league.
Everyone at Gloucester
Ski Club and Natives would like to wish Flora and Tom continued
success in their ski racing careers.
