Could 10-year-old Riley be a Winter Olympics champ one day?

Riley Sharpe dominated the British Freeski and Snowboarding Championships - also known as the "Brits".

At ten years old, Riley Sharpe is already being tipped for future Olympic success after he smashed it at the British Freeski and Snowboarding Championships (Brits) last week.

The snowboarder beat competitors twice his age to the overall slopestyle and big air gold medals in Austria.

Those two disciplines are both Olympic events, but Riley will have to wait until he is 16 to compete with the best in the world in 2034.

He also took home the Brits under-16 rail jam trophy and the under-12 snowboard cross title.

But what do all these terms mean and how did Riley get so good at them?

Slopestyle, Big Air, Rail Jam... What do they all mean?

Riley shows his skills on a rail at the Brits in Mayrhofen, Austria

Let's start with slopestyle - this is where a freestyle skier or snowboarder starts at the top of a large snowy hill and has to work their way down the course by showing top skills and tricks over a course of rails, jumps and other tricky objects. They are marked on creativity, difficulty of tricks, how well they link all the apparatus together and overall style and finish.

Big Air is where athletes show off the biggest trick they can do, after building up lots of speed down a huge snowy jump. They often do multiple twists, flips and have to land without touching the ground to score the most points.

Rail Jam is where all the athletes head down a short course of different rails, riding them on their snowboards or skis and flipping and twisting off them. Unlike slopestyle, there are no huge jumps (or kickers as they are known) in a rail jam.

Snowboard and ski cross are all about speed and control. Around four to six athletes line up at the top of a fast course and it's a straight race to the finish line. They have to face small jumps and tight corners on their way.

Where did Riley learn how to snowboard?

Mum Jennifer and dad James say they were just "casual" snowboarders but are now taking their son around to competitions around Europe!

Riley began snowboarding at the age of two on a family holiday!

He was a natural on the snow and his family decided to move to the Alps in France for a few months to help him improve.

His mum and dad say they wanted him to keep getting better, even when he was a youngster!

"He excelled faster than anyone expected. He is obsessed with it," Riley's dad James told BBC Sport.

By the age of eight, Riley was competing in big competitions, against other kids his age but also against older teens and adults.

However, he may have to wait a few years to compete on a world stage as the age limit for the World Cup events is 15.

However, the prestigious X-Games allow any age competitors as long as they have been invited to compete.

"Nothing scares me," Riley said. "I can't wait for next season already. I want to keep pushing and showing what I can do."
