BFBS Snowboard Cross kicks off the sporting action at Meribel 2025 in style

The British Army have won both the men's and women's team titles for the BFBS Snowboard Cross at Meribel.

A terrific performance from the RAF's Corporal Natalie Fields saw her take the women's title ahead of Army pair Captain Lisa Gibson and Lance Bombardier Jordan Buckley.

The men's competition had a returning winner as the Navy's Marine Chris Harrington finished on top of the podium.
