Winter Paralympics: Menna Fitzpatrick wins second Beijing medal with super combined bronze

Menna Fitzpatrick doubled her medal tally for the Beijing Winter Paralympics with bronze in the visually impaired super combined.

The 23-year-old Briton had already won Super-G silver with new guide Gary Smith, with who she had teamed up after her regular guide test positive for Covid.

The pair had been out of the medals in fifth in the opening leg of the super combined, the Super-G.

But a blistering run in the slalom gave Fitzpatrick, who has just five per cent visibility, a second medal of the Games and the sixth of her Paralympic career.

The result leaves Britain 10th in the medal table on day three of the Games with a gold, a silver and two bronze medals today.

Teammate Millie Knight finished agonisingly just outside the medals in fourth place behind Fitzpatrick with guide Brett Wild.
