Milestones

At the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games, he became the first British aerial skier to compete at the Olympics since Kevin Harbut at Nagano 1988.

Competed at four World Championships (2013-21) and four Junior World Championships (2012-15) winning the aerials bronze medal in 2015.

At the 2021 World Cup in Almaty he made history and achieved a lifetime goal of becoming the first Briton to ever compete and land a quadruple twisting triple somersault - the Full Double Full Full: "Only my fourth time ever performing it. I scored 107 for my Full Full Full and placed 15th. Painfully only three points off making Finals but that’s aerials." (Twitter)

Had a breakthrough season in 2015, including four top-20 results at World Cup level and his 2015 Junior World bronze medal.

First British skier to win a Europa Cup in men's aerial skiing at Airolo, Switzerland in March 2015.
