Team New Zealand - Thomas Loftus

Thomas Loftus is going to Austria 2017. Thomas has autism, but that doesn't stop him from tearing up the slopes on skis. He grew up in England, going on holidays skiing with his family, before they moved to New Zealand and Thomas became a student at Upper Hutt College, studying animation and film. As Thomas skis he sings to himself to help keep a rhythm and a pace. He keeps up in his fitness by participating in basketball athletics and cross-fit. Thomas, 20, gives it his all when he is racing; he really wants to win.
