In the second episode of the top ten series, Alan and I were joined by former British World Cup and double Olympian, Emma Carrick-Anderson to discuss our top ten current female racers.

We discussed both the extreme strength of the women's tour at opposite ends of their careers. The likes of Federica Brignone, Lara Gut-Behrami, and Sara Hector redefining the age at which women can be successful in the sport.

We also discussed the incredible comeback that Lindsey Vonn managed over the last 12 months and the dreams she would look to achieve over the next 12 months.

In detail, Emma, Matt, and Alan delved into the amazing success of the next generation on the tour in 2024/25 with the wins and podiums for Zrinka Ljutic, Lara Colturi and Emma Aicher.

And we, of course, chatted about the unbelievable Mikaela Shiffrin and the fantastic skiing she's consistently produced in her career.
