Izzy & Zoe Atkin, Freestyle Skiers (Bonus Episode #22)

In this Ski Podcast Special, Iain speaks to GB snowsports athletes Izzy and Zoe Atkin as they prepare for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

Izzy was Britain's first skier to win a medal at the Olympics, when she won the Bronze in Slopestyle at the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics. Zoe is Izzy's younger sister and competes in Ski Half Pipe.

In this interview we talk about their background in the sport; why they chose to join Team GB and how their preparations are going for Beijing 2022.
