Very, very pleased for Dave. All that hard work has earned him this top spot. I’m sure there are more wins to come. Enjoy the win.
Great news story, but why does the 'Beeb' feel need to spin it that little bit more and say he skied down the world renowned course at Kitzbuhel, the slalom course was NOT the 'Hahnenkamm' downhill course!
Hard work pays off!
Congratulations 👏👏👏👏
