Well Done Jade Sochi Paralympics: Jade Etherington wins slalom silver British skier Jade Etherington has won her third medal of the Winter Paralympics with silver in the visually impaired slalom. The 23-year-old and her guide Caroline Powell led Aleksandra Frantceva by 0.55 seconds after the first run, but the Russian produced a stunning second run to win gold by 0.65 seconds. Etherington adds slalom silver to her downhill silver and super-G bronze. British super-G champion Kelly Gallagher fell during her first run. But Team GB's flag bearer and the youngest member of the team, Millie Knight, 15, completed both runs and finished fifth. Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.
