Name: Xavier Poynton
Discipline: Alpine Skiing & Racing.
Age: 7 years old.
Best result: 3rd in the U10 British Indoor Championship
Ranking: N/A
About the Athlete:
I am the youngest person ever to have been picked for the Ambition Racing Team and am the Welsh U8 Schoolboy Champion. I work really hard when I’m training and even if I crash, I just get back up and try again. I love to go fast and ski with my friends. My favourite hobby is skiing and I would ski everyday if I could! But I also like other sports such as tennis, gymnastics and swimming.
My Inspiration:
I love watching people skiing on the TV, my favourites are Marcel Hirscher and Dave Ryding. I thought Menna Fitzpatrick was amazing, I tried on her googles to see what she could see. It must be very scary going that fast and not being able to see properly.
My goal:
My goal is to master linking turns on one ski, I can do it a bit but would like to get much better at it. I would also like to try Super-G!!! I’ve met Dave Ryding but would like to meet him again and talk to him properly. I am really looking forward to my first race abroad.
