Elise Christie

Elise Christie's splendid run of form continued during February as she won three gold medals and a silver in the final two World Cup events of the season. That came after a sensational performance in Sochi in January, where the Livingston speed skater put to bed the memories of the three disqualifications she suffered at the same venue during the 2014 Winter Olympics to become triple European champion.

February was a month 15-year-old Madi Rowlands will never forget as she became ski halfpipe champion at the Youth Olympics Winter Games in Lillehammer, winning Team GB's first ever gold medal on snow. Madi, who became the youngest member of the British Freeski team in 2014, also won slopestyle bronze to return home from Lillehammer with two medals. 

Sarah Hunter
