GB's Millie Knight takes Paralympic bronze in downhill skiing

Millie Knight and guide Brett Wild scooped Great Britain's first medal of the Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympic Games with a bronze in the women's visually-impaired downhill skiing.

The 23-year-old finished with a time of 1:23.20 to claim her fourth Paralympic medal after taking two silvers and a bronze in Pyeongchang four years ago.

Knight warmed up for the Beijing Winter Paralympics with two medals at the World Para Snow Sports Championships back in January, and the Brit was on "cloud nine" after finishing on the podium.

"At the start I was just thinking, find the seconds, do anything you can do to go faster, it doesn't matter if you're scared, keep going," Knight told BBC Sport.

"This bronze is something very special. It ranks above our silver four years ago in Pyeongchang. We have gone through some tough things and it has changed us.

"Brett's belief and confidence in me has very much inspired me and made me want to do it not just for me, my family friends and sponsors but for him.

"Crossing the line with a smile on my face was our number one goal. We genuinely didn't believe we were at the level that would get us a medal, especially with the standard at the moment. I feel like I'm on cloud nine and I just genuinely can't believe that this is happening to us."

Slovakia's Henrieta Farkasova took the gold with a time of 1:19.50, while China's Zhu Daqing finished second with 1:21.75. body check tags ::
