Lloyd had an awesome Summer and Autumn 2016 training with the Swiss National Teams on the water-ramps near Zurich. He has taken his triple somersaults to a new level with both triple and quadruple twisting variations. This will enable him to cement his transition into the senior circuit where he needs to perform triples every week on the World Cup winter circuit. He achieved Britain’s best World Cup result since 1995 at the World Cup Deer Valley in February making finals for the second and nailing a triple triple to take 7th place.

For his last appearance at the Junior World Championships in 2015, he performed double-full full and full double-full, 2 types of triple twisting doubles. His hard work paid off when he took the bronze medal and third place at the 2015 Junior World Championships in Valmalenco, Italy.

These two jumps also gave him Britain’s first ever Europa Cup gold medal in March 2015 in Airolo, Switzerland. He followed this up with a silver one week later in Valmalenco, Italy and finished 2nd in the Overall season rankings.

He is currently studying a degree in Sports Performance at University of Bath. It is a perfect environment for working on strength and conditioning alongside athletes and champions from many different sports.

Lloyd, a former county gymnast from Shaftesbury in Wiltshire has been skiing since he was five years old. He has a natural talent for aerials which is probably inherited from his parents, Robin Wallace and Jilly Curry, who both previously competed for Great Britain.

In August Lloyd demonstrated he could compete with the big boys at the FIS Worldmasters, Switzerland 2016, taking 12th place in the senior event.

Without any national funding the aerial budget is currently zero for 2017. Lloyd is desperately trying to find a sponsor to enable him to compete the 2017 World Cup tour where he hopes to qualify for the 2018 Winter Olympics.
