Ellie Soutter: British snowboarder’s mother on losing her daughter - BBC Sport

Ellie Soutter stands with her arms aloft, the waters of a French lake lapping around her legs - looking out into the distance.

"It was one of her favourite pictures," Lorraine says. "I see happiness, I see freedom."

Ellie, one of Britain's most talented young snowboarders, was tipped for success at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

But on 25 July 2018, she took her own life. It was her 18th birthday.
