Aussie Paralympians Make Waves in Milano

Published 3 weeks, 3 days ago
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.
