The British downhill skier, Nicholas Moynihan had a very special fan at the giant slalom track: his father, Colin, the President of the British Olympic Association. This almost seventeen-year old young man finished 31st.
How was the race? Were you satisfied with your result?
"It wasn't ideal today. I did not do well in the first round, the second was better, but I know that I can do better next time."
Alpine Skiing is not a typical British sport, how did you get into it?
When I was young I moved to France. I lived in France from the age of two till I was six and I fell in love with Alpine Skiing and I have done it ever since."
Have you ever been to the Czech Republic before?
"Yes, two years ago I went to Říčky in the Orlice Mountains for the giant slalom in Skiinterkriterium race. I have been to some international competitions in the Giant Mountains with the British national team and we had lot of fun, I really liked it."
What are your goals for this year's EYOWF?
"I'm taking part in Thursday’s slalom. I'm going to try my best and I hope the results will follow from that."
Who is your skiing role model?
