Graham Bell and Ed Leigh report from Sochi, Russia, where the World Cup men's downhill and super combined events are taking place. Ed also meets the fastest man uphill, Ueli Steck.

With now just two years until the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, Graham Bell and Ed Leigh give viewers a first tantalising view of the resort where the alpine gold medals will be contested. This year it is all about victory on the World Cup circuit. The action begins with the men's downhill; how will the toughest and fastest racers in the world tackle the slopes of Krasnaya Polyana?

Ed also meets the fastest man uphill, Ueli Steck, who has run up the north face of the Eiger in an incredible two hours and 47 minutes; and Graham tells the inspiring story of Pete Dunning, who was paralysed in Afghanistan and is now hoping to make Great Britain's Paralympic ski team.
