Invictus Games’ Team UK hit the ski slopes in last training session British veterans and serving personnel who were injured during service have hit the ski slopes for their last training session ahead of the 2025 Invictus Games.
The 62 competitors – all veterans and serving personnel who sustained life-changing injuries and illnesses while serving the UK Armed Forces – previously trained at Loughborough University using adaptive equipment for wheelchair basketball, sitting volleyball and wheelchair rugby.
The seventh edition of the games, which begins in Vancouver, Canada on February 8, will bring together more than 500 competitors from 23 nations and is the first to include winter sports.
Ms Mitchell said: “I didn’t realise how much of my identity was taken away when I became injured until I got involved in a team again.”.
Ms Mitchell, aged 30, joined the RAF at 19 and found herself working on Chinook helicopters with dreams of travelling the world.
