Roger Cruickshank

Roger Cruickshank

Flying Officer Roger Cruickshank (born 18 October 1982) is a Scottish trainee pilot in the Royal Air Force and one of United Kingdom's top downhill skiers.

In March 2005, Cruickshank crashed whilst skiing, which shattered his left tibia and required a metal plate with nine pins to be permanently fixed in his leg. After regaining the ability to walk in June 2005, he qualified for the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin. In the Men's Downhill event, skiing with a knee-brace, Cruickshank finished 37th.
