Amputee Milly Pickles completes 'world's steepest race'

"As an amputee, you avoid hills, you avoid rocks," says Milly Pickles. "Because you can't feel your foot and you don't know what's going to happen."

Milly's just returned from Slovenia, where she competed in the Red Bull 400.

Known as the "world's steepest race", it's an all-out 400m (1,310ft) sprint up a ski slope with inclines of up to 75 degrees.

"It was unbelievably tough, it was so awful," Milly tells BBC Newsbeat. "Every time I looked up, it felt like there was forever to go."
