BRITAIN'S leading skier, Chemmy Alcott (right), secured her best ever World Cup finish seventh - in yesterday's super combined event in the Austrian resort of Reiteralm. Alcott, 24, was 11th in the downhill at the Winter Olympics in Turin. Yesterday's event was won by Marlies Schild as Austrians took the first four places. Alcott, eighth after the first run, moved up a place with an overall time of 2min 15.46sec - 1.77 seconds behind Schild.
