Winter Paralympics: Menna Fitzpatrick and Jen Kehoe win super combined silver

in olympics •  7 years ago 

Britain's Menna Fitzpatrick and guide Jen Kehoe claimed an excellent Winter Paralympic silver medal in the women's visually impaired super combined event.

The pair were second after the super G run and despite a storming slalom effort they were unable to get the better of Slovakia's Henrieta Farkasova and guide Natalia Subrtova, who won their third gold medal.

Fellow Britons Millie Knight and Brett Wild were fourth after a poor slalom run, while Kelly Gallagher and Gary Smith finished seventh.

Fitzpatrick, 19, was born with congenital retinal folds and has no vision in her left eye and limited sight in her right, but started skiing aged five._100374031_mary1_universal.jpg
