With only one training run to get used to the full downhill track, Jack Gower became a British team World Cup racer in the first speed race of the 2017 - 2018 season. The placing and result was not so important, it was more about getting experience and starting his long road to seeing how far he can go.

It is not just about making the start, Gower has much higher aspirations.
