Dave Ryding has won Britain's first alpine skiing World Cup gold medal with victory in the Kitzbuhel Slalom.

He trained on a dry ski slope in Lancashire and is the first British skier to win a gold medal in the 55-year history of the Alpine World Cup.

He will be representing GB in the Winter Olympics, starting in February.

Well done Dave!

Wonderful! Some feat. I often think of all the awful falls that must be endured throughout training to achieve such an amazing standard. Mind blowingly admirable.
