Season 2, Episode 352, Feb 15, 09:45 AM
Menna Fitzpatrick MBE and her Guide Skier Katie Guest got the Para Alpine season off to an excellent start in December with a silver followed by a gold in the St. Moritz Downhill World Cup in Switzerland and have just come back from Spain with even more medals with Bronze medals in both the World Cup Giant Slalom and Super G followed with Gold and Silver in the FIS Super G competitions.
In a break in the Alpine para racing RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey caught up with Menna to find out what that first competition of the season was like, how she and Katie prepare for their race while other skiers are doing their downhill runs, and how the communication and approach for slalom compare to the downhill racing.
Menna and Katie along with the rest of the GB Para Alpine Team continue to compete on the slopes for the rest of the season and you can find out more about how they get on by visiting the GB SnowSport website - https://gbsnowsport.com
