ROBERT GETS A 'HAT-TRICK' OF GOLD at ENGLISH ALPINE CHAMPIONSHIPS. BORMIO 2010

19th February 2010

Robert Poth is the English Alpine CH1 Champion Bormio 2010


Robert Poth continues to set the scoreboards alight this winter season from his outstanding Silver medal podium position at the International Childrens ski race in Andorra recently with the GB Children's ski race team by taking a phenomenal clean sweep across all 3 disciplines, Slalom, Giant Slalom and the Super Giant Slalom in the Children 1 age category at the English Alpine Championships held last week in Bormio.
Robert, apparantly, is the only child to have ever achieved this success and it is all the more incredible as he received very little training before the event due to the high costs involved and only arrived in the resort two days before the 1st race!! Many thanks to Chantelle Goddard-Jones his coach at Team Slalom Plus for her support and encouragement.
