York ski ace Harry Cosham, centre, after winning the Manchester Races
SEVEN-YEAR-OLD skiing sensation Harry Cosham is heading for the slopes of Austria as his burgeoning career hits new peaks.
The youngster has been invited to train at the prestigious Race Ski Camp run by Olympic gold medal winning Austrian skier Benni Raich next month.
Normally skiers are only invited at the age of nine or above, but Cosham has been fast-tracked as he bids to win a place in the children’s Great Britain team by the age of ten.
The Wilberfoss Primary School pupil’s latest success was a gold medal in a Chill Factore event in Manchester for winning the under-8 Mini 2 Slalom category.
Anyone interested in sponsoring Cosham should phone Lou Cosham on 07540 706082.
