“Hannah will be skiing with team ‘Stand and Deliver’ from Wales and Lauren will be skiing with team ‘Bumble Bee’ from Austria.”
“There is a lot of training to be done between now and then, with Hannah having to get through physio first from her foot injury she sustained in August, but we are sure if anyone can come bask stronger, she can.”
