Andrew is the British number 1 (he is the best ranked cross country skier of all time) At Vancouver he produced the best performance of any British skier at any Olympics and then at last year's World Championship did the same. His performance pathway is in line with the best of the world.

His aims this year is another top 10 finish in the U23 World Championship, a top 30 place in World Cup (so scoring Britain's first world cup points) and to finish the gruelling Tour de Ski.
