About Anna
Anna Turney is a British Paralympic Alpine ski racer and executive coach. She suffered a serious back injury while snowboard racing in Japan in 2006, resulting in paralysis in her legs. Rather than abandon her sporting ambitions, she transitioned to Paralympic Alpine skiing using a sitting monoski. She competed for Great Britain at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Paralympics (6th place), and the 2014 Sochi Winter Paralympics (4th in Super G, 6th in Slalom, 8th in Giant Slalom).
