Veronika Aigner won the women’s vision impaired giant slalom with guide Eric Digruber, retaining the Paralympic title by 2.56 seconds over Chiara Mazzel. Elina Stary earned bronze as Aigner collected her third gold in Cortina after using a different guide for the earlier speed events.
Ebba Årsjö won the standing category by 2.84 seconds ahead of Varvara Voronchikhina, with Aurélie Richard third. The Swede completed another strong two-run performance after failing to finish the second descent in Beijing, bringing her Milano Cortina gold tally to three before the remaining slalom.
Anna-Lena Forster won the sitting event after setting the fastest time on both runs. Momoka Muraoka finished second, 1.28 seconds behind, and Sitong Liu took bronze at the technical race finale.
