In this slightly shorter than normal episode, this conversation with Chemmy Alcott, a 4x Winter Olympian, British National Champion and the only British female skier to ever win a run in a world cup, talks to us about training, work life balance with family in tow and more importantly her passion to be back in the mountains. We also talk to Chemmy about her fairly random Guiness world records…

About Chemmy

As a 4 x Winter Olympian, a career high ranking of 8th in the World, 7 x British National Overall Champion and the only British female skier to ever win a run in a World Cup, Chemmy Alcott is widely regarded as one of Britain’s greatest ever skiers.

Resulting in not just skiers, but British Winter Sport athletes as a whole seeing the Winter Olympics as a realistic and achievable goal.

Since retiring from competing on the world stage after The Sochi Olympics in 2014, Chemmy has immersed herself in the world of TV & media, where she now presents for the BBC on Ski Sunday and commentates on the World Cup Ski Series for Eurosport amongst being a guest on many other show.
