We’ve had a busy and productive 12 months at Energise, and we’re always looking for ways to improve wherever possible. With plenty projects and ideas still in the pipeline, we wanted to take a look back at some of the upgrades we’ve made over the past year.

GSF Athlete 2026 Ursula: I race for Great Britain in Ski Mountaineering. I was racing across Europe in the World Cup Series in both short and long format races. I achieved my first world podium finish winning the ISMF Masters World Championships Individual race (O35 age group).

GSF Athlete 2026 Oscar: I am a swimmer in York in the National squad and a Biathle athlete with Yorkshire Biathle Club. I have qualified for my first European Championships to represent Team GB in the individual Biathle u17’s event. I also have World Qualifiers coming up soon.
