Alain Baxter has claimed GB's first ever alpine ski medal at the Winter Olympics after claiming bronze at Salt Lake City. His controversial Saltire was clearly visible during the race and at the finish line. Interviewed for the BBC he said "It's unbelievable to think I've won the first alpine medal for Britain at an Olympics, and I am sure there will be more to come. All the hard work over the season has paid off. If I had put two really good runs together, I would have won gold."

Alain's younger half-brother Noel finished 21st, with team-mate Gareth Trayner a further two places behind.
