All it took was a day’s reflection for Battersea’s Cara Brown as she made her way back to the top of the podium thanks to a set of blistering downhill displays at the Delancey British National Alpine Ski Championships.

The downhill discipline proved another high-octane event in Tignes after the thrills and spills of Monday’s Super G.

And it provided 20-year-old Brown ample opportunity to showcase why she is one of Britain’s most promising ski stars after a disappointing start to her Championships.

She played second fiddle to Darcie Mead in the Super G, but reigned supreme over the downhill course, clinching both British national and junior titles in the discipline.

“Every time I come out I want to win, so when I don’t I want to work out why I didn’t and sort it out and go faster,” she said.

“It was a much better day – Monday wasn’t my day. I would say Super G is my better speed discipline but recently I’ve had better results in the Downhill, and I just love going fast.

“It was OK because there wasn’t too much flat light, you can still see the bumps on the course which is really important. The good thing is it wasn’t quite as warm as Monday which means the snow stays in better condition too.

“I definitely felt better this year, it was a completely different Downhill to last year which makes a huge difference. I felt more comfortable on my skis, willing to go fast whereas the year before I was just looking to make it down alive.”

And there’s likely plenty more to come from Brown at the British Championships, with the technical events – Slalom and Giant Slalom – up next.

“The Giant Slalom is my best event,” she added.

“I’m really looking forward to the rest of the competition and hopefully the results will keep going in the right direction.”
