Winnie Atkin, mother of Zoe and sister Izzy said in an interview: "Zoe and Izzy started skiing between my husband’s knees aged two or three.

Sister, Izzy. "It's nice to be able to say that about your sister. She’s amazing and it’s cool to watch her doing her thing but at the same time, she is my biggest fan along with my parents and she supports me all the time, even though we’re not together that often." (newschainonline.com, 2019)

Working really hard and focusing on training are essential. "You’ve really got to have fun with it, though.

General Interest

DUAL CITIZENSHIP - TEAM USA VS TEAM GB
It started when her father approached GB Park and Pipe ski head coach Pat Sharples to see if her sister Izzy could represent Britain. "The US team is a very big team and Isabel is shy and reserved so we thought she'd do better in a smaller environment. That was a large part of it." (independent.co.uk, 17 Feb 2018)

SISTERHOOD AMBITION
Sister Izzy expressed how much going to the Olympics in 2022 alongside her younger sister would mean to her: "It has been a dream of ours since we were little, and it would be a dream come true if both of us qualify for and compete at the Beijing Olympics." (eurosport.com)

"We really aren’t competitive with each other as, first and foremost, we are family. We also compete in different disciplines (Izzy competes in Ski Slopestyle and Big Air, and Zoe competes in Ski Halfpipe). (eurosport.com)

PARENTS MEETING
Her British-born father Mike, and Malaysian-born mother Winnie, met when working for the World Bank in Washington. They went from New England to Utah so Izzy Atkin could attend The Winter Sports School, whose academic calendar was not during ski season. (independent.co.uk, 17 Feb 2018)
