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.

I have been watching this and these athletes are as tough as nails, watching the Downhill is amazing.
