Great Britain’s Top Alpine Skiers Engaged To Be Married
Published : 31-Jul-2013 11:19
Britain's number one female and number one male downhill skiers have announced they are engaged to be married to each other.
Dougie Crawford popped the question to Chemmy Alcott last week and Chemmy said, "Yes!"
"I'm so happy to be committing to a lifetime of love, laughs and craziness with my soul mate. In my personal life he has been a rock who has made me happier than I knew possible," said Chemmy,
"In my career he is a constant support and inspiration to me to fulfil my potential on the slopes. And in true Dougie style, the engagement was perfect - involving a high speed boat ride (slight exaggeration on my part!) romance, blood and tears – and to cap it all off we took a leap of faith with a cliff jump!"
Dougie's reaction was, "I'm so excited to be marrying my best friend. We have had the most amazing four years together and she makes me smile and laugh every day as well as inspiring me to work hard and be the best I can be. I feel so lucky to be marrying the girl of my dreams and look forward to lots of happy years to come! I'm also really relieved that the proposal is over with... there was a lot of stress and lying to keep it a secret!"
Chemmy has competed in three Winter Olympics during her career and remains the only British female to win a run in World Cup. She and Dougie are both currently out on the slopes training for the upcoming season and the Sochi Olympic Games.
