KITZBUEHEL, Austria－Dave Ryding kneeled in the finish area and kissed the snow. A few meters away, his coach and ski technician cried in happiness. British ski racing had been waiting for this moment for over five decades. "I guess my name will be in history now," said Ryding, nicknamed The Rocket. Ryding, who honed his early skiing on a dry slope, pulled off a massive shock Saturday when he won Britain's first World Cup race with victory in the men's slalom in Kitzbuehel. Ryding clocked a combined total of 1 min 41.26 sec, finishing 0.38 sec ahead of Norway's Lucas Braathen, with his teammate and two-time Olympic medalist Henrik Kristoffersen third (+0.65).

When Typhoon Rai smashed into the Philippines in mid-December, the island of Siargao was among the hardest hit. The storm killed at least 405 people and left a trail of destruction in the eastern provinces of Surigao del Norte - which includes Siargao, a tourist hotspot - Bohol and Cebu. Among those affected have been James and Marja O'Donnell. When James, an Australian, first ventured to Siargao 13 years ago, the island of 150,000 people had just a handful of rustic guest houses catering to visitors willing to rough it to ride the waves of what is considered the best surf break in the country: Cloud 9. "There weren't many tourists at all," says O'Donnell, who began travelling regularly from southern China, where he worked in manufacturing. "Then they built a road and investment began to come in from all over." In 2015, O'Donnell met Manila-born surfer Marja Abad. The couple married and decided to make a go of it in paradise. While James managed eco-retreat Greenhouse and the … [Read more...] about ‘Covid on steroids’: Storm-hit surf mecca Siargao reels from twin disasters
