GB’s Freddy Carrick-Smith Comes 12th in Opening World Cup Race of the Season
Freddy, along with his brother Zak and Luca, are seen as the future of men’s alpine skiing for GB Snowsports.
Judging by today’s performance it is not hard to see why.
He started in 46th place and put in a blistering first run to not only reach the Top 30, but finished in 21st position – just outside the Top 20.
