SKIING star Dave Ryding continued his preparations for next month's Winter Olympics with a third top-10 finish in two weeks in the slalom World Cup.
The Chorley ace, who learnt to ski at Pendle Ski Club, came seventh in Zagreb.
The 31-year-old was down in 18th after the first run but improved his time by more than two seconds in run two to climb the leaderboard.
The East Lancashire star is no eighth in the overall standings having finished sixth in a race in Italy before Christmas and claiming fourth spot in Oslo on New Year's Day.
Ryding will lead the Great Britain ski team at the Winter Olympics in South Korea which begin on February 9.
Before then he heads to Switzerland tomorrow for a World Cup event and has a further three races scheduled before Pyeongchang.
