Sussex snowboarding ace adds gold to silver with stunning display at European Youth Olympic Festival

His success today makes him Team GB’s first double medallist at a Winter EYOF in 24 years, after he landed silver in the big air earlier in the competition. The only other Team GB athlete in history to achieve the feat is alpine skier Chemmy Alcott, who picked up silver and bronze at the Poprad-Tatry 1999 Winter EYOF before going on to represent Team GB at four consecutive Winter Olympics.

Lane secured today’s victory with a best score of 89.00, putting him more than four points clear of his nearest rival. He took his place on the podium alongside Italy’s Grassis with silver and France’s Merimee Mantovani with bronze.
