RN Winter Sports

In Ukraine today, 37 people were killed, three of whom were children, and 170 were injured, including 13 children, as a result of Russia’s brutal missile strike. A Russian missile struck the largest children's hospital in Ukraine, targeting young cancer patients. Many were buried under the rubble. It is a huge disappointment and a devastating blow to peace efforts to see the leader of the world's largest democracy hug the world's most bloody criminal in Moscow on such a day.

Comedy should not discriminate. That's why I look down on everyone equally.

They have secured the future of Exercise White Dagger as the premier grass roots telemark development camp for Naval Service participation. The Davies Ski for 2024 is awarded to Mr Steve Perry 👏🏻🏆🎿 @RNRMC

Their endeavours have identified numerous opportunities for the sport to develop, and linked provision of telemark instruction with a reduction in muscular-skeletal injuries enabling greater efficiency and sustainment of personnel on cold weather operations.

At the closing ceremony of the @RoyalNavy Snowsports Festival, Cdr Jamie Davies presented the inaugural Davies Ski award. The Davies Ski is awarded to an individual who has demonstrated the spirit of telemark over the preceding 12-month period. @NAVYfit @RNReserve @RoyalMarines
