A Stafford teenager has been handed a dream call-up for the Scotland women's ski squad.
Georgia Blaikie, 16, joins the elite adult Scottish alpine team for the 2024/25 season.
She will compete alongside experienced GB World Cup athlete Charlie Guest and fellow teenager Brooke Baxter.
Having pledged her allegiance to her father's native Scotland, Blaikie has eanred her place in the 12-strong national squad after a string of strong performances helped her secure a top eight slot in the senior rankings.
Now, Blaikie aspires to follow in the footsteps of four-time Olympian Chemmy Alcott, who is widely regarded as Britain's greatest ever skier.
She said: "I want to make it as far as I can and I am so happy to get a place in the Scottish team.
