Chimene Mary Alcott, known as Chemmy Alcott, was born on July 10, 1982, in Hove, East Sussex, England. She began skiing at 18 months old in Flaine, France, and participated in her first race at the age of three. Her talent was recognized early, leading to her being voted the Sunday Times Junior Sportswoman of the Year in 1995. Despite a significant neck injury at age 11, Alcott continued her career, accumulating numerous British National Championship titles across various disciplines, including an impressive seven overall Senior British National Champion titles (1999, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009) and eight Overall British Ladies Champion titles. She made her FIS race debut in August 1997 and her World Cup debut in 1999.
Alcott competed in four consecutive Olympic Games, representing Great Britain in Salt Lake City (2002), Turin (2006), Vancouver (2010), and Sochi (2014). Her Olympic achievements include an 11th-place finish in downhill at the Turin Games in 2006 and an 11th-place finish in super combined at the Vancouver Games in 2010. Throughout her career, she consistently achieved top-30 World Cup results, with notable 9th-place finishes in downhill at Cortina d’Ampezzo (2004) and super combined at Reiteralm (2006). A severe double fracture to her right leg in December 2010 during training in Lake Louise marked a significant challenge, but she underwent a notable recovery and returned to World Cup skiing in the 2012/13 season. During her recovery, she also competed in ITV’s ‘Dancing on Ice’ in 2012, finishing fifth.
Chemmy Alcott retired from international competition in March 2014 after the British Alpine Championships, having distinguished herself as the only Briton to win a run in a World Cup race. Post-retirement, she has transitioned into broadcasting, serving as a presenter for BBC Ski Sunday and providing commentary for British Eurosport. She was part of the BBC’s team covering the 2018 Winter Olympics. Alcott also co-founded CDC Performance, an alpine ski team focused on developing young skiers. Her career highlights include numerous British titles and consistently ranking among the world’s best, showcasing exceptional determination and resilience.
