Rival Darcie Mead then managed 52.98secs for a total time of 1.46.35mins, and although Anna couldn’t beat that, finishing second with a total time of 1.46.86mins, she was crowned top U18 athlete overall.

She said: “I was pretty happy with my first run and on my second run I was a bit on the edge, but overall it has been a good day. I am happy with getting on the podium in the U18 category as I thought there may have been some Italian girls sneaking in there.

“This week has been a big boost to my confidence, and I have definitely made a step forwards. Now it is back to school for a few weeks before I start preparing for the British Champs in Tignes.”
