Milan-Cortina Paralympic Games: one year to go

6 March 2024 marks the start of the one year countdown to the Milan-Cortina Paralympic Winter Games

One year from now, British Paralympic athletes will be readying themselves for the opening of the Milan-Cortina Paralympic Winter Games, the first Winter Paralympics on European soil since Sochi 2014.

Standing behind them will be a proud track record of British snowsport success in the world’s biggest Paralympic competition, including six medals from the last Paralympic Winter Games in Beijing in 2022.

Of Britain’s Beijing medallists, Neil Simpson (Gold, Men’s Super-G VI; Bronze, Men’s Super Combined VI), Menna Fitzpatrick (Silver, Women’s Super-G VI; Bronze, Women’s Super Combined VI) and Ollie Hill (Bronze, Men’s Snowboard Banked Slalom LL2) will all be aiming to make a return to the Paralympic stage having built an impressive body of results in the years since in the World Cup and World Championships arenas, while Millie Knight (Bronze, Women’s Downhill VI) announced her retirement shortly after the Beijing Games.

Over the coming year, we are committed to continuing our work with our Para Alpine, Para Nordic, and Para Snowboard athletes and ensuring we prepare the strongest possible team ready for competition in Milan-Cortina in 2026.
