headline: Ben Tudhope: 'I would rather have tight races than easy wins'
text: Ben Tudhope heads to the Winter Paralympics in Beijing full of confidence after winning a silver and a bronze at the recent World Para Snow Sports Championships.
  22-year-old will become a three-time Winter Paralympian, having competed in Sochi as a 14-year old - finishing 10th in the Para-snowboard cross and carrying his nation's flag at the closing ceremony.
  And Tudhope knows competition from the next generation in his sport is fierce.
  He says: "We have a 14-year-old from Norway on tour with us - Niklas Lohne-Hansen. It shows how far the sport has come. Soon these kids are going to be able to beat me!"
