Beijing 2022‘Anything is possible’ — Ryding, 16th, out to ‘attack’ second slalom run22 MINUTES AGO Ryding said: “I started good, I had a good feeling, but you can’t make mistakes in slalom. The good thing is we have two runs.

There’s nothing to lose for me, I’m in a position to fully attack. Anything is possible.” Asked if he was feeling the pressure or in a confident mood, Ryding added: “I was fine this time. My fourth Olympics, I always say I’m not defined by the Olympics.

My career has been awesome for me. I try my best here like every race, and we see what my best gets me.” Ryding 16th after first run at Beijing 2022 Dave Ryding finished more than a second off the pace after his first run of the slalom and will need a huge second run in order to medal at the Winter Olympics. The Team GB rider was looking to back-up his historic victory in Kitzbuhel last month, having become the first Briton to win a World Cup event in January.

Ryding was the 13th rider to go down in Run 1 on the ‘Ice River’ at Beijing 2022, with Norway’s Henrik Kristoffersen setting the early marker with a 53.94. In the end, Ryding went down in 55.13, a total of 1.19 seconds behind Kristoffersen, who held a narrow lead over compatriot Sebastian Foss-Solevag. That gap for Ryding became 1.21 seconds when Austrian Johannes Strolz went top as he looks to add to the gold he won in the combined earlier at these Games.
