This is a small selection of portraits I shot of a handful of athletes who came for video interviews in Kranjska Gora.

Get behind the scenes as we setup for the World Para Alpine Skiing World Championships which kicked off in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia. You'll also find, here, photos from the opening ceremony.

This day was set aside for more setting up and also to give the athletes a chance to free ski the competition hill ahead of racing starting on the 21st of January.

The first day of racing at the World Championships with the mens' giant slalom.

This time it was the turn of the women to contest the giant slalom world championships in Kranjska Gora...

Today the snow fell as the men raced the slalom in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia

This was to be a day of nail-biting and spectacular finishes for the women's World Championships slalom.

Today was supposed to be official training for the downhill World Championships now that we'd moved to Sella Nevea in Italy for the speed events. Unfortunately the weather decided otherwise with high winds causing the closure of the gondola! At least the jury inspection and the athlete inspection of the course was able to take place and I was able to double check a couple of great photo-positions.

Another day cancelled due to conditions on the course! No training for the downhill today :-(

Today was a big day! Two days squeezed into one - downhill training in the morning and downhill racing in the afternoon! Whilst it was hard going it also came as a great relief to everyone that there was some racing today!

On this, the last day of the World Championships, some clever management of the schedule allowed us to have a Super G competition and also a Super Combined. This resulted in all the disciplines being raced for a World Championship title. What an exciting day this turned out to be!
