Back to EpisodesAussie Paralympians Make Waves in Milano
Description
Liana France, Australias youngest female winter Paralympian, made history at the Milano Cortina Games, finishing 15th in the womens giant slalom standing event. Georgia Gunew, the 23-year-old flag-bearer, placed 11th in the vision-impaired giant slalom. Both athletes drew inspiration from challenging circumstances, with France inspired by a Peppa Pig episode and Gunew by her childhood idol. Australia has one medal so far, a silver in snowboard cross from four-time Paralympian Ben Tudhope, who races in the banked slalom Friday. The team is gearing up for stronger showings in upcoming events.
