TJ Baldwin: Ex-British champion accuses BSS after retiring aged 23
Former British champion TJ Baldwin has accused skiing's UK governing body of failing to support him after deciding to retire at the age of 23.
The 2012 four-discipline national champion believes he was unfairly overlooked for the Winter Olympics.
"I felt like I got as far as I could under the circumstances. It was always a fight with the governing body," he told BBC Radio Norfolk.
British Ski and Snowboard say a high qualification standard is necessary.
"Organisations are required to set a high bar for qualification. That bar is often set way above the international body's own criteria," BSS chief executive Dave Edwards explained.
