HERTFORDSHIRE skiing star Eleanor Scranage-Harrison’s medal-filled week at the English Alpine Championships continued on Wednesday with a silver in the slalom.

At 16, the Ambition Racing skier is one of the country’s brightest young talents and provided further evidence on Wednesday that she’s fully-recovered from eight months out with an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

The Under-16s slalom saw Scranage-Harrison battle it out with Daisi Daniels for top spot, eventually being pipped to the gold by just over a second in the overall timings.

“I thought in my first run I made a few mistakes but my second one I was really pleased with and I felt it’s the best I’ve skied in a while,” said the Hertfordshire teenager.

“The first course was really quite turny at the top so I struggled to get a lot of speed, but the second course was much more my style, it got a bit faster.

“My knee’s fine as well, it’s been coping well with everything so I’m glad it’s not been causing any problems.

“It’s probably one of my best results this season, I’m really happy with it.”

Scranage-Harrison, who trains at Hemel Ski Club, has one event left at the Championships – Thursday’s giant slalom, sponsored by Rossignol - and is planning on going out with a bang before returning to the UK.

“I’m really looking forward to the GS on Thursday so hopefully I’ll go out there and smash it,” she added. “Slalom is my favourite but I’m hoping to finish the week on a high in the GS!”
