Jasmin Taylor: Telemark skier achieves double at World Cup finals

Telemark skier Jasmin Taylor has crowned a triumphant winter with a double success at the World Cup finals.

The 30-year-old from Ipswich won the parallel sprint and overall titles at Pra Loup, France.

She had previously achieved 11 podium finishes, including five firsts, during the 2024 season, and more than 50 overall in her career.

Taylor also won Britain’s first World Championship medal with sprint bronze in the USA in 2015.

Telemark includes alpine skiing, cross-country and ski-jumping elements.

The former University of Suffolk student once raised over £2,000 at a car boot sale to enable her to progress in the sport.
