Congratulations to Dave Ryding for becoming the first British man to win an Alpine Skiing World Cup Gold in the slalom at Kitzbuhel at the age of 35. You have to go all the way back to 1981 when Konrad Bartelski claimed our previous best, second in the downhill at Val Gardena. It seems like only yesterday that David Vine was describing that achievement with incredulity on Ski Sunday.

Like all other British sporting heroes he'll have his nationality questioned on here though due to the fact he was born on the wrong side of the Pennines
Good luck in the upcoming Olympics Dave.
