Two more British golds for Alcott

BRITAIN'S No.1 Chemmy Alcott has picked up her third British title in two days with Super-G and Super Combined victory in Meribel.

THREE AND EASY: Chemmy Alcott picks up another two gold medals at the British Championships in Meribel to take her tally to three 

The 26-year-old, who chalked up downhill gold yesterday, proved too strong again for the rest of the field, claiming her 32nd British crown.

Alcott eased her way to Super G gold ahead of downhill silver medallist Pam Thorburn, and returned to the slopes to repeat the trick in the Super Combined.   

"There was some tension going on as quite a few of the early racers came out due to the course being quite tricky," said Alcott, on her Super-G victory.

"It looked quite easy in inspection but the speeds are high and there are some big turns so you had to be really committed to get through. 

"So I think we did well to get the podiums and I'm really happy with how I skied."

Lightning struck twice for Thorburn, who, just as in 2008, was yellow flagged during her Super-G run, ensuring she had to start the race again.

"I had a good run, I had some good turns but I had to go twice as I got yellow flagged but it meant I got to do my jump twice," added the 23-year-old. "I'm looking forward to the next race and hopefully I won't get stopped this time halfway down."
