A rare honour in the world of Alpine skiing for New Zealand thanks to the success of Alice Robinson

A rare honour in the world of Alpine skiing for New Zealand thanks to the success of Alice Robinson

25 November 2020

For the first time New Zealand will get to set the course for a World Cup race with Robinson's co-coach Chris Knight having the honour for the first runs at two World Cup Giant Slaloms at Courchevel in France next month.

Knight says despite Robinson winning two of the World Cup races last season, it was touch and go.

Alice Robinson meanwhile competes in a World Cup Parallel GS in Lech in Austria tomorrow night.
