Menna Fitzpatrick has become Britain’s most successful Winter Paralympian, after taking silver in the women’s Super-G vision-impaired class.

Taking her second medal on Monday morning, the visually impaired skiier from Macclesfield with guide Gary Smith won the super combined bronze, alongside brothers Neil and Andrew Simpson.

Macclesfield resident Menna said she was delighted at becoming Britain’s top Winter Paralympian on medal tally.

She said: “I am feeling absolutely amazing! I can’t quite believe it, we just wanted to build on the day before and we are super, super happy.”

“I am so happy to be the most decorated ParalympicsGB Winter athlete; that is not what we came out to do today though, we went out to ski well, so to come out with a silver medal and a pretty amazing title as well means we are delighted.”

Prime Minister Boris Johnson congratulated Menna on her success:

The ParalympicsGB team has now won five medals at the Games in China with six days of competition to go.
