WEMBDON Nordic Skier Tristan Marshall has become the first in his sport to receive a grant from Somerset sports charity TS5C.
Marshall, 14, is currently Under-14 British Champion and GB Roller Ski Series Champion, and has now stepped up to the Under-18 Group.
Passionate about his sport, he said: “To become a world class Nordic skier and to be able to compete with Scandinavian athletes it is vital to spend as much time as possible on camps overseas.
“The money from TS5C will help with that.”
