Freestyle skiing, moguls

Going to the Winter Olympics was a dream come true for Laura Donaldson, who has had to take various jobs in the past to finance her skiing career.

These have included posts as a chalet girl in Meribel and as a crew member aboard Ivana Trump's yacht, in addition to office work at home.

Donaldson has made an impressive return to competition since recovering from a knee injury two seasons ago, gaining a string of successes in the Rocky Mountain League.

There was no fairytale ending at Salt Lake City though and she finished last out of the 29 competitors.

She was, however, delighted to have a clean run and to make it to the bottom.
