In the 2010 season Emily created British Skiing history by becoming the first British Female Skier ever to win a Skiing Europa Cup race, and with a string of positive performances in World Cup events over the next few years, she finished 17th at the Ski Cross World Championships in November 2013. She recently satisfied the conditions set out by the International Ski Federation (FIS) to be invited to compete in Ski Cross for the British Olympic team at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi.
Unfortunately, the FIS invitation came a day after the British team was announced, and the British Olympic Association (BOA) have subsequently declined it. Although they have not given their reasoning, the decision has been endorsed by British Ski & Snowboard (BSS) who said they believe Emily is unlikely to put in a "credible performance" at the games. This, despite her 17th placed finish in the Ski Cross World Championships as recently as November.
