It seems to have come round far too quickly but today marked the final day of competition at the 2018 Winter Paralympic Games in PyeongChang and the Games came to a conclusion just as they started, with Brett Wild on the slopes but this time it was for the Women’s VI Slalom event.

It was to be a fantastic final race at the Games for Brett as guide to Millie Knight. The pair secured their third medal with a solid performance to win bronze, 1.59 seconds behind their teammates Menna Fitzpatrick and Jennifer Kehoe who took the gold.
After the race Brett commented;
“It was a really challenging run, the conditions were tough. We put down a good enough run for bronze. We went for it but there were a few mistakes in there.
“We had a gameplan, we wanted to go flat out and we did and we left nothing on the hill so I’m chuffed to bits with how Millie has skied this week, it’s amazing.
“We would have been lucky to leave with one medal and I would have been happy to leave with one medal so to leave with two silvers and a bronze is phenomenal.
“I think the week on the whole has been absolutely brilliant. It was a hard dip in the middle and it took a lot for the sport psychologist to get us back but we bounced back and proved that mental resilience one again.
“I’ll take a week out when I get back to recuperate but then I’ll be back in the gym. That’s the plan.”
With the action at PyeongChang over, ParalympicsGB can look back on what has been the most successful winter Games ever. Great Britain’s athletes will return home with a magnificent one gold, four silver and two bronze medals, one more than the six won at Sochi 2014.
