Great Britain’s Paralympic skiing gold medallist Kelly Gallagher’s hopes of success in the super combined ended after she fell in the slalom element.

“Slalom is a really tough event,” Gallagher told BBC Sport afterwards. “You’re on the edge of your seat and technically I just didn’t make it today.

“The conditions are what they are and we were happy to race. It just wasn’t to be.”

Elsewhere, team-mate Jade Etherington and guide Caroline Powell finished fourth, but were later promoted to second after two disqualifications. And with only three pairs registering a time in the slalom, it means a clear run by Etherington and Powell in Friday’s super-G element will guarantee them a third medal of the Games.
