“I feel like I am definitely going in the right direction. Just being back on skis makes it really feel like it is real.

“It has been crazy difficult, I have never been off my skis for this length of time ever so it has been really weird, it has taken a lot and I have been very patient. It has just been really different but it has been a learning curve too, I am grateful for it but I am very excited to be back soon.”

The Aberdonian was the youngest member of Team GB’s squad for the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing where she made the finals in both the women’s slopestyle and women’s big air events.

“I didn’t realise at the start of my journey how much of a hole I was in,” she explained. “For the first three months of the rehab I was just like digging and keeping going but then I came out of that and I was like, ‘wow, I was really quite sad’.

“So it is quite difficult mentally, just to keep seeing people on social media and online and watching the competitions you were supposed to be at. It is quite difficult but again that is one of the ways I have grown is just understanding that and realising that it wasn’t my time to be at that competition and then the next one I will be at.

“There are so many thoughts that go through your head, like, ‘will I get back in general? Will I get back and have a weakness?’ So many thoughts and there was a moment in April where my knee just randomly started hurting quite a bit more, that made me think, ‘is this even going to fix?’

“But then you just keep pushing through and you give yourself some rest and then once you are back to normal then you can get strength and keep going stronger. Luckily, I had a lot of people around me to help me through it because I don’t think you could do it on your own.

“I just thought back to all the competitions that had some crazy feelings after – after Beijing, after the X Games – you have such a crazy feeling of excitement and I was really using that for this rehab.”
