Aigner wins again
Gold and bronze for Austria in alpine combined
It's a day of celebration in Cortina! Austria's Paralympic team has reason to cheer with four more medals. Veronika Aigner and Elina Stary raced to gold and bronze respectively in the alpine combined on Tuesday. Johannes Aigner and Thomas Grochar then went on to win bronze in the men's event.
Austria's para alpine skiing team is delighted with its latest gold medal: Veronika Aigner and her guide Lilly Sammer won the combined event in Cortina d'Ampezzo in the visually impaired class. The duo had already won the downhill and taken silver in the super-G. Elina Stary and Stefan Winter also won their first Paralympic medal with bronze. Italy's Chiara Mazzel and Nicola Coti Cottini came in between them.
Aigner/Sammer had already led the combined standings after the super-G, while Stary confirmed her third place from the first part of the competition. Veronika Aigner now has a total of five Paralympic medals – four gold and one silver.
Grochar completely detached
Her brother Johannes won gold in the downhill and super-G on Tuesday with guide Nico Haberl and bronze in the super combined. The Gloggnitz native now has eight Paralympic medals. However, Thomas Grochar won the most emotional medal. The one-legged ski artist won his first Paralympic medal with bronze.
