Paralympics End on a High with First British Gold of the Games

J2SkiNews posted Mar-2018



British skiers Menna Fitzpatrick and guide Jen Kehoe won gold in the slalom race in PyeongChang today to win their fourth medal to the 2018 Paralympic Games.

Millie Knight and Brett Wild took the bronze, their third medal of the Games.

The medal haul of seven, between the two pairs, means that Paralympics GB have reached their 6-12 medals target, and the gold is only the second ever won by the British Paralympic team in Winter Games.

That first gold was won by Kelly Gallagher four years ago in Sochi, she was sixth today.

Menna Fitzpatrick and Jen Kehoe beat the Slovakian pair Henrieta Farkasova and Natalia Subrtova who have dominated the visually impaired ski races by two thirds of a second.
