International Women’s Day 🌟
Today we celebrate the incredible women across the UK Armed Forces who are part of our ice sports community — competing, coaching and supporting across skeleton, bobsleigh and luge. From the Army, Royal Navy and RAF, our female athletes continue to demonstrate the courage, determination and teamwork that define both military service and sliding sport.
Whether taking their first steps as novices or racing alongside some of the world’s best, the women in our programmes continue to raise the standard season after season. Their commitment on and off the ice helps drive the sport forward and inspires the next generation of sliders coming through the start house.
Today we recognise not only the athletes on the track, but also the coaches, staff and supporters who play such a vital role behind the scenes. Your dedication, professionalism and team spirit make our ice sports community stronger every year.
Happy International Women’s Day to all the women representing the Army, Royal Navy and RAF in skeleton, bobsleigh and luge. 💪❄️
